New Dyno Run Update on Project BMW 135I

Dan — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 23:27:24 +0000

We just did a new dyno with the current mods on the car to see how it reacted. It is very nice outside with an ambient temperature of about 80F. The car is running Agency Power Catless Downpipes, Agency Power Exhaust with Ti Tips, Agency Power Intercooler, JB3 ECU, Riss Racing Intake. We run a Mustang Dyno which reads a bit lower then some of the DynoJets runs out there. We were running pump gas of 91 octane. The made an impressive 322 rwhp and 375 ft/lbs of torque. Once we remove the center pipe and run race gas, I bet we see 350 wheel horsepower. More info coming up!

Project CLS55 Rocks the Dyno

Cole Kelly — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 00:02:55 +0000

Vivid Racing took delivery of its newest project car a few weeks back. With the intention of keeping this a mild build, an exhaust, HRE wheels and the existing Renntech Stage 5 kit is pretty much all that is in store… for now.

The exhaust selected is the Meisterschaft GT Racing. With more performance and a nice throaty sound, the Mesisterschaft keeps with the Mercedes look with polished stainless tips.

The existing Renntech Stage 5 kit included an ECU tune, headers, pulley, 78mm throttle body and a carbon fiber airbox. With this kit and the new exhaust, Vivid Racing was anxious to dyno the luxury neck breaker. The final number put down on our dyno is an amazing 446 horsepower and 491 ft. lbs of torque. All this while riding in comfort.

Evo 9 on E-85

Mitch — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:45:38 +0000

Today I put an Evo 9 on the dyno to just check to see its power now that it has switched to E-85. This Evo has been on our dyno before and I help the customer to tune it on regular old 91 pump fuel. He has since then put some E-85 in the tank and turned up the boost to 30psi and man does this car scream!!

The car made 444whp and375ft/lbs! Now the kicker to all this is the turbo used is a stock appearing turbocharger! The turbo is made by Blouch and is called the BBK Full. Car makes full boost (30psi) before 4000rpm!! This is all on the stock 2.0l with no headstuds as well! E-85 really is an amazing fuel and as we do more and more with it we can see that surpasses even most leaded race gases in terms of detonation resistance and it is cheaper that regular 91 pump fuel! Win win if you ask me.

Audi R8 OCT Flash

Mitch — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:43:54 +0000

Last week we did some work on an Audi R8 installing the Milltek Exhaust. Today we got a chance to flash it using OCT and the car gained fantastic power!!

As you can see the car gained around 30whp and 30ft/lbs of torque!! Really amazing for a naturally aspirated V8! The car is a lot more punchy and throttle response improved a lot!

You can find our complete line up of Audi parts here:

Dan — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 23:16:08 +0000

We had a customer drop off his CTT to us. This is a 2006 and he wanted to gain some power out of it. To me, it looks like he gained alot! We added the Fabspeed secondary cat bypass pipes, Agency Power diverter valves, and K&N flat panel filters. Here are some pics of the install and an impressive dyno sheet. All parts for the Cayenne can be found on our Performance Store Here.
