The conventional thinking is that going catless (ditching your catalytic converters) is best for power. That traditionally was the case but modern motors adjust so many parameters so quickly and are built for such efficiency that you can actually lose power by getting rid of the cats. ...Published on 03-27-2019 07:44 PM
That 8-second doorstep must just be eating McLaren 720S tuners alive with the competition being oh so close. We have a new fastest McLaren M840T platform record but the 9.092 elapsed time remains just slightly behind the quickest record of 9.069 held by Dyno Spectrum. ...Published on 03-26-2019 03:12 PM
A stock McLaren 720S requires a car capable of 140+ trap speeds if you want to give it a serious run for its money. A tuned example? Well, you better be bringing some serious heat as the McLaren 720S with just a tune on pump gas will top 800 horsepower to the wheels. ...Published on 03-24-2019 05:31 PM
There is a reason car companies spend big money on exotic materials in order to reduce weight. Ford includes carbon fiber wheels on the Mustang GT350R because reducing rotational mass has quite an effect on performance. ...Published on 03-22-2019 10:03 PM
This video really can be summed up in one screen grab but the guy sure loves to hear himself talk. The car you are familiar with as it is the ES750RS Porsche 991.1 Turbo S recently written about which has factory GT2 RS VTG turbochargers. ...Published on 03-22-2019 04:42 PM
Wiseco has a Boostline product line of connecting rods which are said to be much, much stronger than traditional designs. What makes these rods different? They have a 3-pocket design that is said to be 60% stronger than traditional H-Beam rod designs. ...Published on 03-16-2019 03:47 PM
This ESMotor ES750RS Porsche 991.1 Turbo S as you know from an earlier article produces 804 rwhp as tuned by @Emre@Esmotor and built/dyno tested by AIM Performance in New Jersey. The main difference between the ES750RS and ES850 turbo kits is the turbochargers utilized. ...Published on 03-16-2019 01:51 PM
Yes it is a bit odd to put McLaren and value in the same sentence. However, when you factor in the MP4-12C is basically the same thing as a 650S at a huge discount with some minor styling changes the word value applies in that context. ...Published on 03-15-2019 06:51 PM
As manufacturers become more adept at keeping tuners out (why would we buy cars we can't tune? where is the fun in that?) standalone options will become more and more prevalent. Rather than trying to work within the confines of the factory programming replacing the entire factory system with a Syvecs standalone makes a lot of sense. ...Published on 03-14-2019 07:27 PM
Antigravity batteries is doing some very cool things in the world of automotive batteries.

KRATOS did not just break the previous S55 record of 1087 wheel horsepower they also set several new overall BMW power records in the process. Frankly, BimmerBoost.com is having trouble compiling them all. This exceeds any recorded F-Series BMW to our knowledge as well as any recorded M3. ...Published on 03-07-2019 06:40 PM
Speed Academy did a great 100 treadwear track tire shootout between the Toyo R888R, Nankang AR-1, and Maxxis RC-1 tires. What was the test vehicle? A Scion FR-S. The issue there is the tire sizing does not apply to most of the cars on the BoostAddict network sites. ...Published on 03-06-2019 04:32 PM
It is great to have some dyno numbers for the rare McLaren 600LT. Fabspeed seems have a knack for getting in low volume high performance cars for development. This particular 600LT was used to develop Fabspeed sport catalytic converters, cat bypass pipes, and a 600LT ECU tune. ...Published on 03-05-2019 04:52 PM
Ladies and gentlemen, it's finally time to get off the keyboards and get to the track. BoostAddict.com in association with VF-Engineering is proud to present the BoostAddict.com 1/4 mile drag day at the Famoso dragstrip in McFarland, CA. ...Published on 03-04-2019 09:41 PM
This video comes from Hennessey so keep that in mind. They pit their '1000' horsepower Trackhawk against a stock McLaren 600LT. After a brief intro explaining to us the differences between sports cars and SUV's they line the cars up on the strip. ...
