nah u won’t, u having more torque doesn’t necessarily mean anything if the power is high . And also once u shift I’m still in the same gear longer than most DEs

Typically doesn't take much for a GTI to take on a Z, a tune alone put them there.

I understand giving up torque for power as I have the Velocity manifold, but I ain't giving up that much and a normal hood on top of that.

Also let's keep it real, without E85 it would probably be 275-280hp which is about normal for a FBO DE.

yea but u guys aren’t getting it, power never fell off my valves were floating so I couldn’t go pass 7200 rpm’s but my friend did the same thing and made power all the way to 8200 and made 326whp without cams
also e85 really didn’t give me much only 5whp gain

so with the kinetix with cams u won’t go past 310 whereas with cam on my setup i redline at 8000 I’ll be at 330 ijs and the torque isn’t that bad but with cams it’ll pick back up and even more due to my exhaust setup

like if u look at my video the torque loss doesn’t show on the road at all

I watched part of it and yeah I guess you were winning some races but that is ultimately a driver thing. My first reaction was "this car is slow for how loud it is" I see how fast it revs but the speed doesn't seem to match.

yea u right but all my runs mostly was without a front bumper which ultimately held me back when I ran a bumper it was a big difference

the setup was and still be a top end end setup

I get that, I follow Sasha's build and there is very little he didn't do NA and very little people can replicate that, ultimately ITBs were the only option. I'd be interested in seeing a dyno as I don't believe the stock cams can make high end power.
