    I take the bus to work.
    did you ever have a dyno from before the ITBs to see how much that single upgrade made? Amazing numbers assuming you dont have any cams or headwork done...


    did kassel do the tune?

    and it looks like (pic is blurry) youre not using the factory s54 throttle actuator. What are you using to calibrate the 6 TBs? Thanks for the info!

    Here is the before numbers.

    Stock head with 276/270 cams and valve springs. Bottom end is 11:5:1 87mm pistons

    Yes Kassel is tuning it. Rabid racing made a manual actuator cable setup to use the itbs

    Even if there isn't a huge power increase from the ITB's, I think throttle response alone is worth the difference IMO. The sound has to be insane. Thank you for building this thing up NA.

    No vanos limiter as I have recessed pistons, also using supertech valve springs for the higher redline. No stock here

    Did you have to roll your fenders to fit the 255s?

    Also, what offset were those silver arc8s?
