Its amazing that the torque differs so much from the De - HR/VHR .... Def. tell the intake etc is setup differently...

Also... how did the "spec" clutch hold up and shift... I heard of some people complaining about it shifting into first gear??? Any insight

non the less I bet it feels like a whole different car. Good job again!

Hey! I have an S2K...



In regards to the torque, for some reason, they're all like that. More peak HP, but less torque than the older DE and Rev-Up cars. Maybe it has something to do with Intake/Exhaust Valve Timing and/or the head design? I don't know really. I'll have to ask Mike what he thinks, he would know much better than me.

And the owner told me the Spec Clutch feel fantastic in the car. He said it feels much firmer and responsive than the factory unit, no issues with gear selection either.

Lol I'm a fan of S2k's just weird to see the difference haha. Those are deff great #'s considering you're not using a stand alone. Any baseline #'s? That makes me wonder what trq #'s are from the factory. Will the kit include the AP?

Thanks for comments everyone.

Yep - 7 to about 8 by redline. Very smooth over all and no spiking.

As far as TQ - we still increased 140 ftbs over stock baseline (4th Gear Run). And the curve remained very close to stock. We did not use an electronic boost controller like an EVC, perhaps we could ramp it up faster for an earlier tq curve. Although I doubt it. The VQ37 does not produce much TQ, even in stock form. Look at the G37s out there that have cracked the 500 and 600whp mark and are still stuck in the mid to low 400wtq and 300wtq ranges.
