stroker 2.3 and green is fantastic down low, but lacking up high. Torque curve spikes early at 3300ish, hp peaks at around 6200ish and falls off rapidly...not just a typical taper.

I think I can deal with the added lag of the black to get power back up high. Road race / time attack / and even autocross . . . as soon as you're up high in rpm, you pretty much stay there, gear to gear. Transient response on lift-throttle shifts would most likely be the biggest annoyance.

Thank you. I'm going to be pulling it apart again soon. My plans for the car are changing.

There's no need to lift!

Yes, we do that.

They asked who baker was and I provided a link. As far as performance from them in the evo market I know of a few cars in town with their work and they all perform without a hicup. Actually the fastest evo in town has their headwork... By fastest I mean at the track no street racing, no dyno numbers actual track numbers.

If there is a reason to question their work please pm me as I would be interested to hear what happened.

Yes, me as well. Considering the proof I've seen of their work being awesome, I recently got work done from them.
