Thanks man! What are you going to have him do? You're going to love the tune.

ooph, good luck OP. Those S63/tu dont like 700whp for long periods of time.

Any updates? Can't get enough of the dyno vid. Will be going with this tune to get those pops and crackles

I've been driving on 91 for about two weeks now and while I can tell a big difference from the 110 tune, the car still pulls really well and sounds amazing. Deceleration still brings a smile to both my face and whoever else is riding in the car.

I'm doing Targa Trophy this weekend so I should have more feedback to report after it.

Famous last words.

I may see you at the Targa event this weekend to get some of that "hot fire". I may be "too close though mon."

Yes, I will be there

My fiancé was driving behind me last night and confirmed that you can see flames while I'm driving on the freeway. I haven't confirmed whether anyone can see flames during the day (on 91) but I guess I will find out this weekend.

DHUBM5 · 09-06-2017, 11:55 AM

Haha... well fingers crossed that won't be the case. Hopefully because I will be on 91 octane 97% of the time that will help with longevity. I am also thinking of adding meth soon.

If you do go let me know... I would love to meet other members.

Hopefully no rod bearing issues, as these fail on these engines as well.
Power gains are huge ! Pretty cool to see the gains, these engines are beast !!!

I participated in Shift S3ctor (1/2 mile race event) this past Saturday and had a blast. I installed Toyo R888R tires two days prior which might not have been the best idea as I didn't really get to break them in before racing. With traction issues in 1st and 2nd, my best trap was 156.7 mph. I feel like I could've added another mph or two if my grip was better off the line but I'll have to wait til next time. It was also a pretty warm day (88* F) which didn't help.

The main take away for me though was that my car felt amazing and pulled hard to redline in every gear. There is also still no evidence of slipping clutches. I raced 4 times (got a brake pad warning so I decided to call it a day) and won all 4 races. I didn't really search out any cars (other than one against my friend) so I raced whoever ended up next to me. 1st race was against a Challenger Hellcat that I destroyed (it at least had an exhaust, don't know about other mods), 2nd was a modded Ram SRT-10 which met the same fate, a modded vette making around 550rwhp that was my closest race and a 1100rwhp GTR (friend's gtr). He was trying a new map for our race that acted up on him so he blew past me off the line but when it started acting up I passed him. I had my friend's GoPro on my car so I'm waiting to get some of the vids from him at which point I'll post them. Now I need to decide which mods to do before the next one

Looks like you had a lot of fun! 156-157mph is about right for your mods and indicates a very healthy car. Mine wasn't finished so didn't make it. I will likely go to NFZ this Saturday.
