The new M3/M4 will be fast with a tune. It will be nice to see the outgoing M3 with some more push.

If you want to talk about lacking numbers in reality look at the Honda S2000 and Honda NSX. Both very weak and always have been in the high revving 4 banger and 6. I am a former owner of multiple ones. Without a doubt in stock fashion they are lacking, not so much here. We saw dynoed S2000s with 195 hp and 131 ft pounds of torque in a 2900 pound car. Closer to 3000 pounds with a hardtop and bodykit which so many kids run these days. The NSX we saw pre 1997 - 220-240hp 170-190 ft/lbs post 1997 - 240-260hp 180-200 ft/lbs. I still am a fan of both but just saying.

And yes, the engines are quite different in their layout and design philosophy but that isn't what I was referring to insofar as comparing. I'm talking about making a reasoned guess as to what kind of power levels may be possible in a kit sold to the general public in the real world. A different thing than something someone keeps together long enough to make an airstrip run before it explodes. While the number for the latter may very well be 1000 or more hp the number for the former will be much lower. This is what I mean about realistic. The numbers that are produced in every single kit for Corvette is far below what TTs could produce and do produce in the cars that people build for airport runs and such. Few of the latter however are done because of the expense and because there is no way to hold the car together at the glory numbers for long out in the day to day. I'm not certain if the big numbers were mentioned in reference to what may be possible or actual hopes of it being available in a kit that these folks are going to sell. This is what I meant about not raining on parades. I find the big numbers as cool as the next guy and I'm interested in them myself. |

Sorry we have no video for you guys yet. A few things got delayed. We want to put out a video just as much as you want to see it. But we have decided we want to have the production pieces on the vehicle before we run it again.
For now, here is a photo of our manifold getting ready for casting at the foundry. We should be getting our first manifold within the next 10 days. Please note: we are also have underway 2 other big projects that has been taking up a lot of our time as well, even though our E9x twin turbo kit is priorty over all others. |

I always hear the low torque argument but it was not the design or purpose of this engine. You cannot have both in naturally aspirated form. You can't have a low end grunty torque engine that revs to 8400 rpms and makes top end power up until 8300.
Its one thing if many other engines made big torque and offered high rpm power but as mentioned it simply is not possible or very difficult. The purpose of the m3 and the s65 was high revving power which ANYONE who has tracked this car will appreciate how great 3rd gear is to have 8400 rpms to play with and have a 2k band of power to have control of at the peak powerband. IT works flawlessly. This was what it was designed for. Its a weak low-end torque motor so if you prefer that type of motor and you own an m3 than it seems more of a wrong choice rather than a flaw in the m3 s65 engine which fulfills its purpose beautifullly |
