Here’s a quick share on my car, we had a really successful dyno session last week. We were able to hit my stock motor HP goals and also get some much needed data on the setup. The challenge was getting this thing to not cook as much as it wanted to 😅. Ended the day with 607whp and 475tq on 14psi E60. Rev limit is 7200 rpm for now I’m not sure if I’ll carry it up slightly on the track but as it sits the car feels amazing!

It feels a bit nostalgic, in 2022 I made 605whp 603tq stock motor when I owned my other ser, fast forward 2025 same power but a few hundred pounds lighter lol.

Back like I never left! Lol

Gen3 VQ35DE FBO with Holley EFI, equipped with stock cams. For those interested, it was dyno-tested on a Dynapack. I learned this the hard way, but at least I’m set up for cams when I’m ready. I’ll probably gut a manifold and retune later on.

303 WHP and 238 TQ on a 3rd gen revving to 7500 RPM with stock internals. The Holley robbed some power, but that’s fine. I’ll be working on gutting an OEM manifold this year and re-tuning. I spent good money on an equal length y-pipe, but it still sounds unequal length.

Below is the difference with cams and E85 (360 WHP / 307 TQ)

It’s not making 300 until over 7000 RPM, and the rest is significantly underpowered. You’ll achieve the same top end with more mid-range using the stock manifold. These Hiram setups need upgraded cams to really shine. I made 360 HP and 307 lb-ft with full bolt-ons, cams, E85, and the Hiram manifold.
