The stillen kit is a great example of what is happening.
SO many blown engines, so many bad installs, and it's setup makes it a nightmare to tune.
Yet it is incredibly rare to surpass the 500 mark, Has abysmal torque and does not really flow enough to warrant major fuel upgrades.It is obviously not a power capacity issue, but has truncated earlier thought about this engines capabilities.
Yet, you have these idiotic tuners, dumping timing in at 7000rpm and hitting numbers that are false and downright dangerous. These cars are being sent home with a gloryhole tune that s prone to detonation and the smallest variable.
The focus on the max power number is a toublesome one. If you want power, do it right, overshoot the parts and find people that know.
I consulted for hours on end with Charles and Sebastian@Specialty Z, as the know e85 with this platform and Seb
AFAIK has absolutely the BEST tuned to blown enging ratios that I could find. NO offense to anyone else, but his method is tried, true and impressive to say the least.
You don't just mish mash a bunch of parts and find the nearest tuner and say 500hp please! Take your budget, add a few thousand, research every part, every hand touching your car.
Oh and Charles, you are absolutely correct. But we both know that there are specific reasons that information is privy. Once the field is clear of profiteering buffoons stealing other people's hard work. I have a feeling doors will be opening up! Some of the product in the market is downright dangerous and even some that may enter the market is even more dangerous..
