Custom ported and CNC throttle bodies, upper and lower manifolds by Synergy Composite

How do some of you think his gains are tied to the tune when you have to retune. The car was knocking, not because of his parts , but because more air equals lean equals knock. Z1 even says you MUST retune with their manifold. If you don't like the guy that's fine , but at least he's thinking outside the box here instead of following the herd. These cars have been out for 6 years now and how often does someone try something new let alone dyno it and fess up when the gains aren't as good as he thought. Let him try with test pipes and a proper tune.

I agree. This platform is basically shìt in terms of performance NA mods. That's why I went with a huge shot of nitrous and now I'm doing a BP kit. I commend him for thinking outside the box. Oh well if doesn't make that much power but there are also people putting full top secret/amuse/arc stuff on and are gaining the same if not less power than wayyyy cheaper stuff available.

hmm... anything over 300 hp is pretty beefy IMHO. there are diminishing returns though... if i had a 500whp tt monster z how much of that 500 ponies is actually useable/practicle for street use?

it's all about your application. some need it, some want it, some rather not.

i personally like NA engines characteristics so back on topic of... i look to squeeze every last ounce out via bolt ons and any other 'serious' mods that may come after the 'easy' gains are achieved.
