    Just found this channel and plan to stick around. The placement of the methanol jets is pretty genius! Like a dummy I listened to the instructions and put the nozzle near the throttle body. Planning to add a second and considering pre-innercooler as the primary then the one at the throttle a secondary. Idk though...

    I already knew this, but I watched anyway, because I like your videos. This one was no exception. Well done. I will add some engines got pretty atypical characteristics compared to most American old school NA V8s.... I had a 125cc two stroke with removed exhaust valve, which made what narrow powerband it already had, even narrower. Fastest performance was had by shifting not at redline, but way after. In fact long after the markings on the tachometer had run out.... Wasnt pretty but it took it like a champ. Second example is my turbo diesel which like a few other, actually get the powerband shifted lower in the revrange when tuning. An adjustment of the factory shiftpoint down by about 500rpm got better performance.

    I've used method 2 with my G8 when it was stock. Intake and exhaust IIRC. Everyone wanted their G8 to shift at 6500 but if didn't make any sense since the HP peak was at like 5800 stock IIRC. I played with the shift points (in the tune) and went 13.1 @ 104 IIRC. Again... I say IIRC bcuz this was 2014. She is way faster now tho. Great video. And Capitol Raceway sucks now BTW...

    I've heard not great things about Capitol too. It's really unfortunate. Down here my closest track is like 2.5-3 hours away. But at least it's 2.5 hours of easy, traffic-free driving.

    surely the shift point is when the engine goes "waantuntuntuntuntun" or is that just hondas?

    Sent you an email under the pseudonym Math & Physics, and wouldn't you know. Next attempt to log in, I was locked out. So hm wants to send me a code, to ID my phone, as a means to unlock the account. Thing is, I did nothing to violate TOS, so it's a disposable acct, now. Do you have an interest in the information relayed? Just realized you're building an R&D shop, so I would imagine a safe(r) oxidizer would be a premium research platform.
