this plus exhaust cams from JUN i think would see the most NA gains aside from the usual breather mods like CBE and CAI.

So what is this increase in price of the license I saw mentioned? Gonna be upset if it is a huge bump.

Maybe I should go ahead and get my own now before hand. Assuming they don't come back and charge for a "VVEL upgrade" or something. :shrug:

So those with built lower CR motors have pistons with deeper dish, the intake valves can travel further? Just wondering... this stuff is over my head. Still... I want neck snapping low end response.

you can also have a high compression with deeper valve relief , soo yeah you could set the VVEL to travel more.

I'm not going to touch VVEL just yet as there hasn't been much testing for it yet. I'm not trying to blow up another engine. lol

Neck snapping low end response and low compression pistons may be a challenge to combine in my opinion

Oops! They're two unrelated thoughts.

This thread needs either trips or frost to come and clean it up... if you really do your own tunes, maybe you should get the beta maps and do it yourself instead of trying to start a pissing match...

I have the most respect for self-taught tuners, especially on modern motors such as this... I would never have the balls to do it without a lot of practice, but really, talking like you're hot sh!t doesn't gain you any respect.
