Thank you for your support! See you on Saturday!

Ally, as the end user you're more than free to tell us what secret stuff they did to the motor.

yea this secret sauce BS needs to be known or TSM needs to start promoting it for sales. :stirthepot: maybe from me lol

hopefully it's not nitrous. because that will just be a let down to all this anticipation lol

It's not nitrous. I'm fairly confident thay just gave the entire intake tract a quick port and polish. That, with the E85 and VVEL tuning should do it. Mike hit 342 whp and he was running pump gas. So another 15whp from an E85 switch is reasonable.

agreed. kinda figured port and polish would be involved since thats been a topic of discussion with a lot of people lately. probably since we kind of ran out of room for power on N/A with current available parts.

not like anyone is making anything new anymore either. its either go FI or move on if you want more power lol

At this point, I wonder what can be extracted with some more aggressive exhaust cams. And would it be worth the cost and effort. At that point there isn't much more to do than increase compression and displacement. Spinning the motor even more is expensive and at what point will VVEL crap the bed? That oil pump is on the ragged edge at 8k already.

I performed Mike the Powdercoater's modifications as well, when I worked at Z1. :tup:

:rofl2:

My lips are sealed ;)

So the secret mods you did as an employee at TSM are the same ones that Z1 had been doing? Are you an former employee taking trade secrets to a competitor? :rofl2: I won't tell anyone if you make with the info, you IP thief you. :p

so then theres now a conspiracy theroy based on prior allegations of Z1's pumped dyno readings......and now this? :stirthepot:

:bowrofl:

That's how the world turns! LOL:icon18::icon18::icon18:

At least there is someone other than Z1 we can hand out money too now! After the way they treated me with a big order, I actively seek out ways to give my money to someone other than them! :ugh2::ugh2:

Juicin' ain't just for baseball anymore.

Rob,

So with the upgraded injectors and fuel pump, were you able to advance the timing quite a bit? and still be safe?

I'd say that the upgraded injectors and pump allowed them to run E85, and the higher octane allowed more timing. I can't imagine there being any difference on pump gas.

I developed a modification while at Z1, to make the numbers their shop car, and Mike's car made. They now sell a version of that modification to the public, however I don't believe they've been making as much power with the current version :rofl2:

Now at TSM, having had the opportunity to be involved with several different platforms and work with people who have been in this industry as long as I've been alive, I've picked up a few new tricks which worked well on the VQ37. :tup:
