You are exactly right, the C2DI box actually robs the car 1000% of it's hp . That's right, at WOT, the car travels backwards.

Actually, evosport has chosen to work on other upgrades prior to this, and has not done any experimentation on stage II. But you are going to believe whatever you want, after all, you are the smartest man alive.

Move over evosport, Brabus, Renntech, Carlsson; nov0798 is here to take over the industry!

im not here to take over anything, bottom line is you cant show any significant gains for the price you charge. PLAIN AND SIMPLE!

Any car will show improvements with a fresh set of plugs, do a before and after dyno of the same car then do a dyno of the same car with the same milage accrued on the plugs and you will probably see the figures right back where you started.

Your reasoning is far from accurate. Does a performance intake help cars? Or can one achieve the same results by replacing it with a new one? What about cams? Headers? ECU?

Sure, a car with significant mileage will improve from a fresh set of plugs and wires. But it can improve more from a better set of plugs and wires, just as a stock car has room to gain from a better set of plugs and wires.

None fast enough!
No, we were not able to see the cost/benefit value to adding a stage 2. We have had reliability issues with the CDI boxes, and we stopped this development a long time ago.

thanks
Brad

who is the best tuner for AMG's ECU uprades? what use is all this power if the transmission and gear ratio can't keep up with the force feeding?

alot has to be said about porsche and V6 engines and how its 450-500+ HP V6 engine can hit 0-100km in ~3.1 seconds and low 11 sec 1/4 miles. (is it all in the gear ratios and software).
