Let's interject some automotive humor in between the usual serious horsepower posts. The California DMV is, well, what one could imagine hell to be. Endless rules, lines, red tape, fines, regulations, bureaucracy, and little to no fun. ...Published on 03-28-2019 05:02 PM
Let us hope this does not pass or come into effect as it is madness. As if Volvo limiting all their cars was not bad enough the EU (European Union) is taking things a step further. Cars will be fitted with a mandatory speed limiter, emergency braking system, and electronic data recorders. ...Published on 03-27-2019 08:32 PM
The conventional thinking is that going catless (ditching your catalytic converters) is best for power. That traditionally was the case but modern motors adjust so many parameters so quickly and are built for such efficiency that you can actually lose power by getting rid of the cats. ...Published on 03-24-2019 05:31 PM
There is a reason car companies spend big money on exotic materials in order to reduce weight. Ford includes carbon fiber wheels on the Mustang GT350R because reducing rotational mass has quite an effect on performance. ...Published on 03-23-2019 04:54 PM
The GT-R is basically unbeatable at this point unless you go to some serious American muscle built specifically to dominate the drag strip. The car is in the 6's and we are talking NHRA Pro Stock level performance here. ...Published on 03-22-2019 10:03 PM
This video really can be summed up in one screen grab but the guy sure loves to hear himself talk. The car you are familiar with as it is the ES750RS Porsche 991.1 Turbo S recently written about which has factory GT2 RS VTG turbochargers. ...Published on 03-22-2019 04:42 PM
Wiseco has a Boostline product line of connecting rods which are said to be much, much stronger than traditional designs. What makes these rods different? They have a 3-pocket design that is said to be 60% stronger than traditional H-Beam rod designs. ...Published on 03-21-2019 03:31 PM
This Mercedes-AMG GLC63 built by GAD Motors is a stout performer. It better be considering it has the works from tuner GAD including a built motor, built transmission, and M177 turbo upgrade. Output is stated to be around 950 horsepower. ...Published on 03-15-2019 06:51 PM
As manufacturers become more adept at keeping tuners out (why would we buy cars we can't tune? where is the fun in that?) standalone options will become more and more prevalent. Rather than trying to work within the confines of the factory programming replacing the entire factory system with a Syvecs standalone makes a lot of sense. ...Published on 03-15-2019 05:37 PM
Is there anything BMS (Burger Tuning) is not tuning these days? Who could have predicted a JB4 would be helping the NSX set record times at the dragstrip? Who could have predicted the NSX would need a JB4 to impress anyway? ...Published on 03-14-2019 07:27 PM
Antigravity batteries is doing some very cool things in the world of automotive batteries. They have their lightweight lithium-ion batteries with remote jump start you likely know of but also their new Battery Tracker technology which allows real-time bluetooth monitoring of your battery. ...Published on 03-14-2019 02:12 PM
The GT-R takes of the fun out of competing with other tuned cars as it puts up video game numbers. Perhaps what is most absurd is 1813 horsepower to all four wheels is not even close to the highest output GT-R's yet it is an insane amount of horsepower. ...Published on 03-11-2019 07:43 PM
This comes from Street FX Motorsports in Australia. You likely recall CX-Racing in California stating they would offer a 2JZ engine swap kit for the new MKV Toyota Supra but it seems the Australians are the first to actually do the swap. ...Published on 03-08-2019 08:03 AM
KRATOS did not just break the previous S55 record of 1087 wheel horsepower they also set several new overall BMW power records in the process. Frankly, BimmerBoost.com is having trouble compiling them all. This exceeds any recorded F-Series BMW to our knowledge as well as any recorded M3. ...Published on 03-07-2019 07:21 PM
The Nissan 370Z gets overshadows by the GT-R because it is not turbocharged from the factory making a billion horsepower. It is a far more affordable vehicle and a smaller as well as lighter rear wheel drive sports car with an optional manual transmission. ...
