I'm sorry if this has been asked before...

Looking at the Dyno chart, why is the 5.4 NA baseline so low? Shouldn't stock push out 300rwp and more tq?

Can you post the whole dyno run? I would like to see how they perform on the low end, sub 4k rpm range.

Thanks,

First dyno is for 55 Kompressor. I run them from 4-6.6K due to the amount of cooling that is required to run them on the dyno.

The second graph is C55.

HEMs use 1018 mild steel that is coated with HiTemp Ceramic Coating.

We use Powerchip for all our software and we our own tuning.

We are about to release Power Packages with matched hardware and software.

Stay Tuned!
