It is good to see the C8 Chevrolet Corvette being tested by those outside the USA. In this case, the Germans over at Auto Motor Und Sport. They tend to favor German cars and often in their hands it is the German vehicles that put up the best numbers for whatever reason. ...Published on 02-24-2022 09:54 PM
How the mighty have fallen. Anyone remember Steve Dinan talking down on BMW piggyback tuning? Well, it seems he will go whatever way the wind is blowing for a few bucks. It is amusing to see Steve Dinan's reach essentially reduced to shilling an overpriced piggyback. ...Published on 02-24-2022 05:33 PM
There is a lot of competition these days in the twin turbo 5.2 V10 sector. It feels like every major tuner offers a twin turbo kit for the platform. The good news is that with more competition come more affordable options and Weistec's second generation twin turbo kit is a certainly a great choice to consider. ...Published on 02-24-2022 05:04 PM
As you know the new McLaren Artura is coming and with it a new McLaren engine platform codenamed M630. This is obviously a downsized unit compared to McLaren's V8 architecture as it displaces 3.0 liters and is down to six-cylinder. ...Published on 02-24-2022 03:52 PM
Another nice sale here from Unitronic which will be running from 2-24-22 until 3-11-22. If you were holding off on a new tune, now is the time. You can also save $150 on TCU (transmission control unit) software all year long to pair with your ECU (engine control unit) software. ...Published on 02-23-2022 10:03 PM
Any surprise here? With how well Porsche SUV's sell and how well the Porsche Taycan sells this is a no-brainer move for Porsche. The only problem they will have with Macan EV's is keeping up with the demand. ...Published on 02-23-2022 07:22 PM
Now this is how you restomod. Use new materials to improve classic designs. What design is more classic than the 1965 Shelby Cobra? Classic Recreations intends to produce 10 of these bad boys at a whopping $1.2 million a piece. ...Published on 02-23-2022 06:53 PM
This feels very similar to what FCA did with Ferrari not too long ago. The idea essentially being that Porsche would be its own company with its own stock listing that would raise capital. When Ferrari did this they pulled in a billion dollars. ...Published on 02-23-2022 03:32 PM
Here's a great way to shave a couple pounds, open up the exhaust, and gain some power on your BMW G80 M3 or G82 M4 S58 motor. BMW is limited by regulations and mass production costs which means you can definitely improve on the factory exhaust system. ...Published on 02-23-2022 02:54 PM
This is not going to be a product for everyone but one for those looking for more data inputs and outputs to compliment their tuning solution. The X20L can be thought of an expansion model that can communicate with other CAN bus systems. ...Published on 02-23-2022 02:32 PM
We're excited to announce our Engine Control Unit (ECU) Upgrades are now available for the Porsche Macan S (95B.2) 3.0T engine with the Bosch MG1 ECU! Expect massive gains with up to 399-438 HP and 499-509 FT-LBS of torque on tap, depending on octane, from this simple software upgrade. ...Published on 02-23-2022 02:41 AM
The Ford Mustang GT500 is a great benchmark for a street car today as while not the fastest on the road a factory ~133 trap car is no joke. It's very fast out of the box with potential that is simply as high as the owner's bank balance. ...Published on 02-23-2022 01:11 AM
The Nissan GT-R feels as if it's been around for a long time now but it is more than capable of keeping up with anything released today and then some. Here is a stock internal VR38DETT flexing some muscle. ...Published on 02-23-2022 01:03 AM
The Tesla Model X Plaid's reign is over before it began (although it is the king stock for stock). Say hello to the first 8-second Jeep Trackhawk featuring a 3.0 liter Whipple twin screw supercharger swap and a built 426 ci (6.98 liter) Hellcat V8. ...Published on 02-22-2022 03:38 PM
This is a great post from BimmerBoost member @RnmEvo9 which gives insight into ported N54 cylinder head performance. It is no secret the factory cylinder head is not BMW's best work or designed with maximum performance in mind. ...
