60-130

6.1 on pump gas with no meth running.

The recent build is a 2020 car which is trans tune limited. Going further than where it currently is trips the trans failsafe.

Once the trans firmware is released it will pickup another 150-200wtq. Peak power will pickup another 40-50whp.

Same turbos, same engine configuration, shows how much torque is being limited.

Switching our shop car to g35-900, stay tuned for more info in following weeks.

If someone can help make these images post on here that would be great.

Thanks

Pencilling this in my plans for my final mod! I was communicating with you guys when I was modding my F10 M5 but unexpectedly bought an F90. Great work so far.

I’m sorry you had this experience, we’ve recently had to let him go. Even if you are a badass at what you do, you should still be nice. Definitely was not the way to run the most successful M5 shop in the world.

I had a built F13 M6 built by RK Autowerks picked it up from their shop in texas and drove it home 1000miles last month. Running G25-660 turbos. 900whp / 930wtq. Took it to the track for the first time ever in my life this past weekend. My first run was 10's @ 140. Spinning in 2nd on r888r's. Lots of improvements still for the track and myself but i'm beyond happy. You'll see some street stuff coming up when time permits. You can't go wrong with RK and team. Oh and btw, all on flash tune with Cedar Performance / Utkursa.

Still very interested in seeing some low 5s and high 4s on the 60-130mph for the f90s on dragy. I'm
Not impressed by a build doing 6.1s on the 60-130s, as you can do that with 93/jb4 and meth or e30 pretty easily ..

There are two other built M5s on dragy doing 4.5-4.88 on 60-130 ...

It will be interesting to see what evolve does !

Awesome results and work. I do think that some more pics with your clients, the builds and some dyno videos would go a long way in showing members the caliber of your work.

Please address your attention to the item in bold above.

It's also to note the builds doing low 6 60-130 are also blowing motors. But nobody likes to mention that little detail.

I'll post my car when i get a moment. We have much larger following on IG vs the forums. So we stick to that nowadays. Forums have turned into your 9-5 keyboard warriors who've never built a car know it alls.

Doesn't seem like we're gonna get any numbers . These kits should be in the high 4's very low 5's but that's not even close to what these kits cost even after the 30k they are asking to do one of these . Seems worthless to me and the guys who are spending this type of money just have money to blow and don't care about much else .

I'm the 1 post every few weeks warrior. It makes it easier to respond to everyone at once.

It's being worked on, I have a business to run, which takes priority. I'm looking to have it done within next week or two. So far we're at 36-38psi, trying to get to 40psi when its said and done, thats where i expect to see valve float. I'm also sending the trans out in couple weeks to SSP for a full build. So that may delay things a bit. We've tried to keep torque below 850 as advised by chris. So we'll see where that ends up. Right now we've pulled out nearly all the ignition due to boost control R&D. Once we're satisfied with how boost is delivered we will dial it back in.

YOOOOO whats up kimo! i'm guessing you dumped that f10 and got into the f90 like you said LOL!

I'm in the final stages of the freon chiller testing, we have a standalone control unit that we're dialing in. I'll let you know when it's done. My numbers still the same so feel free to reach out!

The coolers i finished design on almost 6-8 months ago now, but COVID messed that up from a supply chain and logistics standpoint. Ravi(CSF) owner says we'll be seeing the final units within next month or so.

Doesn't seem like reading is your thing or looking at pictures. Seems worthless having a conversation with you.

Here let me give you a hint, scroll up.
