Besides that, why would Curt pull the BR Stage 3 engine and drop in a stock 7 bolt? Why would he take out his ported head with those new fp beehive springs and put in a stock one with just cams? It doesn't make any sense at all...















WTFWTF
You TPG guys are the almighty DSM gods. No shop can compair with your badass-ness...You must be logged in to view this image or video.We are not even worthy to be in your presence... I'm starting to wonder if this entire thread is just a shameless plug for your shop? I mean you guys seem to enjoy pointing out the fact that you can make un-explainable power no one else can touch, not even Buschur, AMS, Magnus or even Shep can compair... So far the only explaination that anyone has given was that the car was tuned at TPG WTF... Get real guys...
I'm now positive that there is a very real reason the car made crazy power and you guys are fully aware that you will be called on it if you explain anything. You guys refuse to show an airflow log or even discuss the car at all. Besides that, why would Curt pull the BR Stage 3 engine and drop in a stock 7 bolt? Why would he take out his ported head with those new fp beehive springs and put in a stock one with just cams? It doesn't make any sense at all...
And stop telling everyone that the reason people don't make numbers like these is beacuse we don't know what we're doing. Thats straight up bullshit. The whole reason your getting called out on these numbers is because people know exactly what they are doing and they are fully aware of what that turbo is capable of.
End of story.Notice how the mod list says FP 16G, not whether it's big or small or EVO. Is it a coincidence that FP makes the "sleeper" 16G. I believe it's the "sleeper" that he's running.
You never had me fooled.End of story.
Well good job on the numbers if they are true.
I think it is good people are asking questions i don't know how it was done and i think that a little more information would be nice with out giving all the details.
Like i have a evo 3 and a full 3 turbo back no cat and a big front mount and so on and don't come close to those numbers.
So lets get a parts run down on this setup.
From fuel to motor and driveline.
He would want to sell more parts right?
Aluminum driveshaft helps. Well done, can't wait to this thing in the 9's. I think you already beat the Evo stock turbo record (16g), which might I add was also set by Curt Brown ha.
I can vouche 100% sure that it is a plane jane evo3 16g...

Look at this from everyone else's point of view.
If anyone else had posted numbers like these and then kept quiet about the car, everyone on the entire forum would have called bs. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it just simply makes power because Curt touched it, whatever I don't care anymore. I'm sorry I took a cheap shot at your shop, that was uncalled for on my part. I apologize.
I love how when anyone questions anything on these forums anymore, they are automatically called random vulgar/childish names and assumed to be a worthless noob.

Airflow is generally just an estimation of maximum HP, there are a lot of other factors that go into it, especially on a chassis dyno. I'm not saying this is what they did (or that they did anything like this) but an example would be a gear treatment I had read about in a certain RWD magazine not too long ago. They micro surface finished the gears in the differential and gained 6hp, at the wheels. If you do that in the two differentials, the transmission, add in lower rotating mass of lighter wheels and drive shaft, you could easily be seeing more than 30 extra hp to the tires. Just in the drive train alone you can free up a lot of power robbing friction, and who knows what people making 270hp with 16g's are leaving on the table every where else in their combination. A car is a complete system, not just an engine.
As stated before, airflow is just an estimate of hp, change your timing, change your fuel trims, change your compression ratio, change how much heat the engine wastes, etc. etc. and you'll be making more or less.
It's entirely possible this is real, it's also possible that there is some trickery going on. Just because it hasn't happened before doesn't mean it can't! It's hard to say either way until it runs the 1/4 mile and it's weight is given. You can't really fake 1/4 mile runs : D

I just cant wait to see the 500whp. He will always be known as the 14b/16g god.

Plain like average joe buys it and bolts it on, or was work done to it to make it flow more?
Theres probably more to it.
Well, behind Joe Bucci of course

AHHH - it is like the good ole days - TUNERS DRAMA!
However, unlike the good ole days my mouth is zipped tied shut (New Years resolution that I am sticking to)!
Nate - you are the man - when you and my bro get back from the Bahamas we will have a beer.
16G power forever.
