+175HP Let's go!

[DetroitST]

Stock 346HP to 520HP!!

Nostrum Stage 1 (HPFP and Injectors)
Whipple Intercooler
ZFG 93 and E70 dyno tunes

You can see another ST on the graph (Mat), his stock was 346 (assuming mine would be similar).
The Orange 436HP is the 93 tune.
Red is Mat's stock (assuming all stock is close)
Green is My first revision E70 496HP (got it to 520HP on the 3rd revision)
Blue is Mat's final revision with the same mods, 504HP.

Overall, very happy with the return on investment. I believe all in this was under 7k. $40/HP isn't too shabby.

Huge shout out to Nostrum, after having dealt with XDI in the past, what a HUGE difference. These guys are the real deal, I'd never go back to XDI after seeing how the pros actually operate.
Another shout out to Adam, obviously this guy knows what the heck he is doing!

This setup 100% spins tires through the first 3 gears, next stop, better rubber.

TLDR 520HP/540TQ

Dragy results and videos to come!

Just checking in, 6 days later.... This thing is fast! But I will say my MPG's are around 10-11mpg now average. I've had to fill up every single day since I picked up the car. Just a word of warning to anyone going this route. E85 is a little cheaper than 93 but I'm using a lot of it.

 

[Jock Mahoney]

That is impressive. At what point is it recommended to start looking at bigger injectors and fuel pump?

 

[Cruising68]

Generally when you want to run E85 blends. Requires a lot more fuel for the corn.

Once you get a 93 tune the stock fuel system is maxed out.

Now that the stage 1 kit is installed the turbos are maxed out. The stage 1 injectors are nearly maxed on e85, Nostrum told me within the year they will have a stage 2 kit.

No trans mods? At what power level are people needing to upgrade the trans?

 

[DetroitST]

Stock transmission.

The first sentence is incorrect. The oem fuel system will support E50 flawlessly. That can net 3.6X 0/60’s and 11.6X 1/4’s at 117+

 

[Chamorro85]

Oh man...I wouldn't trust anything this Detroit guys says haha! Great to see the numbers go up man!

 

[TMac]

Nice results! Are there any other mods that aren't listed? CAI, exhaust, downpipes, etc?

I am just relaying what the VP at Nostrum told me. I'll let him know he was wrong. Thanks for the update.

No.

He’s absolutely wrong. If Adam is your tuner he’ll tell you the same thing…any tuner will. There’s hundreds of people, myself included that are running E50 and have been for over a year. There’s plenty of fuel pump and injector for that.

What are your dyno numbers at e50?

 

[UNBROKEN]

Never been on one..they’re a tuning tool, not a thing to brag about IMHO. Numbers vary too widely to be a dead accurate comparison. My personal best actual times are 3.74 0-60 and 11.77 @117. So definitely north of 500 to the tires based on performance.

 

[Cruising68]

Good times are a better gauge than dyno for the reasons stated
