    Default Congrats to Chunky- 3 Years in the making............

    Chunky and i have done alot of testing together. From headers to cam tests on his dyno mule EP3. Well Chunky recently put together his new motor.

    We have always had a running bet that he couldnt beat my B Series (237whp/159TQ, DonF Built). His K20 has come close a few times but always was a few hp away.

    Well tonight he finally got me, and i had to buy him dinner at Taco Mac.

    Ill let him chime in on the engine mods but its a basic built K20, nothing really trick. IPS Cams, Rods, Pistons, RBC.

    Dyno Chart:
    RED KiddRACING Prototype Header
    BLUE BORLA Header



    I take solace in the fact he beat my record with one of my own products so it wasnt all bad.

    SPecial Thanks to the guys at MainstreamPerformance.com for letting us stay late and dyno in the midst of them moving to a newer facility. Cant say enough about them always willing to go above an beyond to let us use their dyno.

    It was about damn time I got that record. There's a more power in this motor once I have time to shake through some of the finer details. I did 16 pulls total tonight, and not all of them were for tuning. The dyno was acting funny, and I was tired to boot.

    Testing out the header verified something I've always known - the old borla header I bought when I had a k20a3 motor in the car was holding me back. I didn't know how much it was holding me back, but I suspected 5-10hp. Now I don't have to guess about it anymore. I literally slapped the header on the car and gained HP throughout. No cam angle adjustments, no ignition adjustments, just some slight fuel adjustments to keep out of the lean zone. The A/F is conservative since this isn't the header that will stay on the car (I've got a nicer header on the way, no offense mike :p).

    Regarding the header itself, it's a nice heavy piece. Feels more substantial than other lower cost headers like the buddy club. Fitment was good, cleared my stock 24mm front sway bar (I do have solid filled OEM mounts).

    I'll warn you in advance, this motor/trans is way nastier than the last setup I had.

    Stock for Stock there is a 300 pound weight difference... I don't know how much weight you've cut from your car... But I think it would be a good race none the less.

    The car is in the upper 26xx range w/o driver, but with gas.

    Did you ever get the cams into your motor?

    Nah sold them off... No need to make my car faster and the money is better off going towards my education haha... I would have had to still spend more money getting them in and everything. cool I am 2370 w/o driver and some gas.

    so 210/156 with 2370 coupe vs. a 242/160ish 2670ish hatch sounds like a good throw down to me!

    Thanks man. It's taken me awhile to figure this K-series stuff out, but I think I've got the recipe right this time.

    Ride home last night was good. Mike tried to jinx me again. After I got off the dyno I'm like, I'd have to call this night a success if for no other reason than I didn't blow it up. Mike's like "call me when you pull into your driveway."

    Chunky you knew the Borla was a restriction back when I had my EG. You should be able to pull out 250 at least, I think some guys are pulling 300whp on 93, though those guys are ballin. You going to be around mspi any tonight?
