Hey guys,

Today we have a very special build for a very special client! Our client came to us with the one goal in mind, LOUD!! With a bone stock car in hand and that goal in mind we crafted one hell of a noisy build on paper and immediately got to work!



The foundation of this build is a bolt-on setup featuring an aFe Track series Cold Air Intake System, Kooks 1 -7/8" Headers, Soul Performance Sports Cats, AWE Track Exhaust, and of course our AFM & NPP Modules.







We put it all together and hit the dyno where the car put down 442 WHP on the factory calibration. Keep in mind this took place at our Virginia facility where the dyno historically reads lower than our Georgia facility. For reference, a stock C8 in Georgia will make ~450 and in Virginia ~420.




The client picked up his car and was absolutely thrilled with the outcome. A couple of weeks later HP Tuners cracked the ECM and he was one of the first in line to get tuned. We decided to turn it up a few notches with a Texas Speed Cam to give him the infamous *CHOP*






With the install wrapped up we got this BEAST dialed in using HP Tuners. On 93 it put down 488 WHP and 442 Torque and on pump E85 it put down 511 WHP and 464 Torque. Not only did it pick up some impressive power, but it sounds INSANE in person!

 

We have received a few questions about our cam packages including what is inside of them. It Inludes the following:
- Texas Speed Cam
- Push Rods
- Lifters
- Dual Valve spring Kit
- ARP Head Studs
- Cicio Performance DOD Delete Kit

@combatninja will be excited.

 

You rang? Good numbers. Maybe not great but good. Was hoping a cam with those mods would be closer to 500whp on pump gas. Finally some numbers, thank you Cicio! Do you by chance know where you have the redline set on this car?

Just ordered a 2024 today so I have a few months to watch this develop.

 

We are more than confident on any other dyno it would make over 500 whp. Not sure if you caught the part above about the difference in our two dyno's but its about a 5% disparity with Va being lower! This car is still using a OEM Throttle body, intake manifold, and heads. There is plenty of room to grow in the NA world on this platform!

We have this pulling out to 6500!

Was the redline/fuel cutoff changed? It looks like the runs were cut right at/after the power peak. How flat is the curve to 7000 PRM. That might do a lot for the average power under the curve between shifts.

 

Thanks Ryan,

Did you have any headwork done? CNC port job? Trunnion kit? Plugs?

 

What is the wait time to get this done? Price with tune?

 

No Headwork or porting done

Dave, shoot me over an e-mail to Parker@cicioPerformance.com and I can get you setup with an estimate.

I believe the limiter is set to ~6900.

- Ryan

 

Weird that the dyno does not go that high. I'd love to see it graphed out to 6900 to see if it is holding good power. Based on you graph, it gives up a bit in the low end. A tolerable amount, but it will feel weaker if driven 'normally'.

 

Graph shows peak power moving higher by 300-400 rpm for the 2nd & 3rd runs. Like you, I'd love to see some runs all the way to rev limit to see the drop off. Not much good in having it run to 6900 if it falls off too fast.

 

That's going to be a bit discouraging if it can't hold power up to around 7000 with what looks to be a very mild cam. That would mean in order to get that high rpm power, you're going to a more aggressive cam profile and you're going to give up a significant amount of low end. Look at the torque loss below 3000 already. I hope some good headwork can get some of that back maybe.

 

The dyno in VA aborts the run at 160 MPH so unfortunately we cant run 5th out beyond where the stock red line ends up. Where you see the pulls end is where we have to stop in order to get a graph at the moment, although I do not believe it would have picked up MUCH more power by revving it out.

We have no doubt that heads will help among other things!

- Ryan

 

Cicio, show me a 7100rom screamer that keeps the low end tolerable and puts down 500whp on 93 pump, and I'll write you a check!

 

Stock intake manifold?

 

Shoot us an email(sales@cicioperformance.com) and we might just be able to work something out for you! =)

-Ryan

 

Yes this build features a stock intake manifcold!

 

Ryan, just ordered a 2024 for immediate allocation, so obviously going to wait for it to arrive rather than modify the 2023. Will be built as soon as the constraints on color and Z51 are lifted. Should have the car real soon. You've done some work for my brother before and he has good things to say.

 

Optimal Redline?

Just watched a video of LMR, seems their testing was @ 8k redline.
