Hey guys, figured since most of you are not on Facebook I'd share my progress since my build finally came together and I found an amazing tuner & shop to set some records with.
I'm still working on adding more power into the car and testing a few things before we go back for more power this fall.
Too much time and money has gone into this build and I've had tons of requests to build people's cars, engines, or nitrous system.
I will not be sharing my nitrous setup build list or details so don't ask!
I learned a ton, from several people and the internet. I even melted my stock cyl 8 piston being dumb.


Anyway on to the raw numbers! Stay tuned as I will continue to push this engine and when I achieve the #s I want I'll post time slips to back the dyno charts.

I highly recommend Loi Tran at Off The Line Performance. Incredible service & work ethic. Be prepared to drive to Des Moines Iowa or don't waste his time.

How's traction from a dead stop?

 

Largely dependant upon surface.
Street nearly always blows the tires off in 1st & 2nd unless I roll out soft on it & hit it late.
Haven't done a prepped street hit yet.
Roll I'll hook.
Track I'll hook from a dig.

I have a controller on it since that amount of torque is unmanageable without some form of control. After the dyno I do some freeway rolls and it was insane lol

 

How is he tuning it? Any videos and pics of your setup? What tire do you run?

 

VF tuner. M&H tires or RE71R depending on what I'm doing with the car.

 

Interesting……I wonder who tunes these better him or RR racing. I had the impression RR racing was the only one who was able to crack and tune our cars.

 

​​​​​​I'll say this much. If you go to OTL you'll be getting a custom tune for your car. This is the best way to go for ANY platform for best all around performance. I can roast my RE71Rs into 2nd gear if I try without nitrous.


If you buy the RR tune it's a one size fits all "off-the-shelf" map.

I had RRs off the shelf tune, wasn't impressed. RR said they'd custom tune ( N/A ) for $1k which is just absurd.
Of course, they back pedalled on that statement now that there's real competition out there.

 

Good to know! I wonder how his custom tune would go with the Procharger. To bad he’s so far away. I’m currently in NorCal.

 

Loi can remote tune to some states, NorCal is one of them. Not sure if that depends on the car's setup though. I also have the RR tune and plan to someday have Loi do some fine tuning.

 

Thank you Jake for sacrificing your piston #8 to demonstrate what many on this group already know… High power nitrous + no tune = bad stuff happening to your engine, lol.

you also forget to disclose a few important things. You are not making that kind of torque with nitrous on stock pistons…. You have JE forged pistons you purchased from us years ago. This is important to mention because some may be under the impression that it’s a good idea to run 700wtq on stock cast pistons…. It is not.

You should also post your NA results while you’re at it. And since you have no problem slandering us in this post, rather than simply focusing on your car, I will post some dyno results from a 160,000 MILE FBO ISF, tuned with our off the shelf tune, which I believe makes at least as much power as your built engine custom tuned ISF.

And lastly, to clear up one last bit of misinformation, we do sell an “off the shelf tune” depending on standard mods we offer. This tune has been proven, over and over again to make power. There are plenty of FBO ISFs in the 11s running our tune.

We do not see a need to do custom ISF NA tunes because it’s not necessary. However, when a customer requests, we gladly review datalogs. Our experience is that if a tune doesn’t perform as expected, the issue is related to issues with the car, which we can often help diagnose. This is something we have done HUNDREDS of times for our customers. Bottom line is that if you’re car isn’t running right, the solution isn’t to custom tune it, rather you must diagnose the root cause and fix it.



Rafi

 

I’m down to race someone who has Loi tune. I’m FBO with RR racing’s off the shelf tune. I’m located in NorCal. I also have 150k miles on the original engine and trans.

 

Wowww Rafi, just gonna out his setup like that? How will his epeen ever survive? Guess he better add some more bold words to his post.

 

Hopefully we see some transmission tunes in the future.

 

I have a build thread that isn't a secret. It's public.

I posted facts, not slander. (Remember I got that screenshot buddy)
Slander would prove me or a business financial gain. Which I have screenshots of you personally slandering VF tuner/Matt Wilson COMPLETELY UNMERITED. So be careful, throwing rocks from glass houses.

Thread isn't about N/A anyway, I have my results NA which, I later discovered after the fact why it's been down slightly on power NA.
​
But it's okay, I understand the competition is closing in and you need to defend yourself at every opportunity in the most boastful possible way.

 

It's in development!
