Default what are the kids in h-t up to now

Bored looking at forced fourms saw this http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2104408&page=1. 400whp on stock z6 maybe for one launch :1 ,in this video dosent look like 400whp to me http://www.epictuning.com/vide...1.wmv . I really love the awd but i call bullshit on 400whp on stock bottom end. If you look at the picture of his z6 motor with out the oilpan you can see the rods and those do look stock. Just curious what you all thought.

not sure why the other video didnt work here is the one he put on you tube http://youtube.com/watch?v=Qxtf3_IHTfs

They've had that stock block Z6 rolling around for a while. I'd assume its the same one, but who knows? The fact is Evans-Tuning is a legit source of info 99% of the time and the guys at Epic also seem legit based on their work, so I'm going with this being just people knowing what's up and a good amount of luck. Basically the opposite of typical Honda-Tech bullshit.

400hp wont last long on a completely stock block. it wouldnt surprize me if he has vitara pistons and some d16a1 rods. the work on the awd system is solid though. clean work

The only thing I don't like about that setup is how low the rear x-member sits. That would worry the ---- out of me.

Welcome to an EMS that can correctly control timing. Stock D16 bottom ends die because they want NOTHING for timing once you start pushing serious power and the poorly-reverse engineered ECU stuff of yore could only retard so much timing. I don't imagine a stock Z6 would last very long at that power level, unless it was run all the time on c16, but I've maintained for a couple years now that safe daily drive D16 power levels are in the 250-275 whp range and not 225.

Hitchhikkr has already given me permission to blow his stock D16A6 to flinders, I can't wait to get ahold of that one.
