A lot of people have asked what kind of #'s the HPF Stage 2.5 produces. The results were surprising for us. What we expected and what we got were two different things. We expected the stage 2.5 low compression motor to be much laggier but make more top end power. What we got was way more torque (542ft-lbs on pump+meth!!!). All this on pump+methanol for the stage 2.5.

His car had 20 miles on the motor and about two hours of tuning so the boost control is a little wavy, but the car pulls so frickin hard and you can leave traction control on and it still hooks in 3rd. When Scott gets back from vacation I'm sure we'll see lots of road kills (on pump).

Take care,
Chris.
