What is it with R56 people, why so secretive? Watching a thread about wanting real power with numbers/vid's to back it up out of an R56, is like discussing supercharger options with R53's. Lots of people firing away with their $hitcannons, and no rreal progress keeping the thread on track or real results to be heard of.

I hate the post a pic/dyno or you are lying mentality all these stickerbozo's on nam have. Half of the of the people who whine for pics
would not even know what they are looking at.


Newest Nam group buy

custom made watercooled muffler bearings plus free bonus pak of gofaster stickers for the first 10 people that purchase

I mean i help and divulge all technical things i have come up with on mine.


I mean he's so baller and has a private lodge for skiing but he cant get a digi cam to take a pic?

As if everyone here has no idea what is going on because we're too busy buying stickers... whaaaaaamp whaaaaaamp


All this talk about stickers and i don't have one on my vehicle nor have i ever, seems like you must've had a bad experience. someone probably clowned the "Troll" sticker on your back


PS: shane, finally read your write up good stuff i need to get around to taking pics of components and do a write up when i get the motivation to do it!


Shame too because I thought we had a REAL 320"+" whp mini oh well the legend continues!

Look I'm not hating on the guy, if he's got it GREAT, if not then why all the talk. All I'm saying is that this is a car forum, Yes there are lots of people on here that leave the performance of their car reletively stock but, there are also the power junkies here that are still learning what to do to get wat they want. The whole point of a forum is an easy way for like minded enthusiests to SHARE information. I have documented my entire build, the good the bad, everything, so that people who are intrested in certan things can know what needs to be done, why cant we all do that?
From a possible future retail prespective on custom parts, I can see keeping a certain design under wraps until the testing is over and that pice goes into production. But if there is no intent on marketing that pice in the future why not share. In the case of 2009R56JCW's intake manifold, what exactly is an engine bay pic going to reveal, especally if you are telling people to come to your shop to see it, and that the manifold could be copied by anyone that is capable of making a header?
There are also quite a few people here who know how to read dyno charts, I personally could care less about the peak numbers the dyno shows, it's all in the curve. He says anyone can post photoshoped graphs, well make a video of it on the dyno, evedently you own it so its free, and hard to fake.
Until the people on this forum have proof of something, they dont let it go. If the information never makes it out, then it just appears to us that you are just another guy with too much money and a whole lotta talk.

Guys, guys.. let's just settle down. I can guarantee that my R50 is the fastest car on this board. Just trust me. I fabricated a custom pixie dust injector, but that's all I can say.

Pixie dust injectors and rocket boosters, who knew? I had a feeling if I followed this thread long enough the "Real" top secret info would slip out. BTW if you guys got dynos or 1/4 mile time slips or pictures that would be awesome if not I understand you have your intellectual properties to protect.

P.S.
How long will it be before these power boosting products are ready for the market because now might be a good time to start a group buy.

Wow, I didn't realize I was going to create such a heated discussion. Couple of thoughts.

Jeff, I can understand you wanting to protect your business/trade secrets. If you look at other tuners like Hennessey, Callaway, etc, they only show a picture of the engine bay from above and their pictures really say nothing other than to show the cleanliness of the engine. Then they list the laundry list of mods which never list the brand/model of the components. I laugh because they will also show a video from inside the car running the 1/4 mile. This really shows nothing as to how the car drives, feels, etc., again, just a video of a car going down the track. So I totally get where you are coming from. Posting a picture really tells nothing. What's the name of your shop?
As for your car, that thing must pull like a ****. 300hp has to be crazy. I bet you have to feather it off the line, no? I'm sure you did something to the tranny, but do you know how much HP the stock tranny can handle without falling apart?

Going back to my original post, who else has impressive numbers to share? It's almost like an auction, "I have 300. Do I have 310? 320?.......SOLD!!"

I am in, but only if they come with stickers (hee hee, had to say it).

Sorry, Jeff, but as we say often here, "no pics, didn't happen". Can't even post a dyno chart? I'm thinking of a word that starts with "l" and ends with "ame"

No group but for me.. I'm tired of the sticker jockeys in here always trying to get the massive amount of knowledge in my head for a discounted rate
