Great chat. He's the same way if you run into him in person too.

As a Dsm owner, Red Demon has always been one of my car hero's! Really cool to see the interview with the Devin! I got to see him make that 215mph pass at the The Shootout which was awesome! Great job HP Academy on all the knowledge you guys have put into your channel thru these interviews! Y'all deserve more subscriber's!!

what an amazing car and a cool guy, thanks for the great video.

Those high horsepower stick shift all wheel launches are so crazy looking. I can’t believe the 6’s are so close. Those DSM engineers must be proud.

That’s my tuner 😜

You always seem to ask the questions I am thinking king of, love your interviews.

he also asks the questions that I didn't know to ask. great interviewer. has he had professional media training?

Yessssss I’ve wanted to see this for so long. I remember building my gsx in high school and during finals I did my big presentation about the red demon.

First time im heard of ramping the rev limiter to control the launch and all of first gear. Neat stuff!

Grab your HPA merch here. Potentially available in Red to those that are colour blind, and for everyone else a slimming black: bit.ly/MerchHPA - Taz 👨🏻

Love these in-depth videos

Another great interview 👏

Love these interview Andre

I finally got what the strain gauge shifter is doing. What a brilliant concept!

That's awesome he gave SDAC a mention! I wonder if he still has a Turbo Mopar?

I can’t wait to see the red demon progress

Life goals! Keep working towards my dreams

Liked this one a lot. Truly an inspiration for people like myself to keep working hard to have a career such as his. Interesting to hear about his background as well.

I loved finding out the boost by gear differential. I'm dying to know what the Speed Factory Civic is running in each gear. Great interview, incredible car, and nice guy.

Andre getting all the secrets lol. Woooot

Still got that brace on the ol' shifting hand. 🙁 Good interview!

"we're using a 26x8.5in tire, so we're limited on how much power we can put down" Yeah Devin, it's a small tire but you're turning ALL FOUR of them! 😂 Gotta love the drag racers mindset. One hell of a car/driver combo.

Yes but AWD/4WD setups are not simply something where you get double the traction just because you are doubling the wheels you have to turn. Weight shifts, there are driveline considerations and even the launch is different. The interview with JR on the ETS-G talks about this a little more if you're interested - Taz.

Nice first car

cool, need to setup race timer rev limit ;)

:/ my face when i hear people say they work 40-50hrs a week and dont have time but am here working 60-70hrs a week 🤦😂

Hopefully somebody can provide some insight, but I really don't understand how this car can run a 6.44:1 pressure ratio (80 psi) with a single turbo, when on every compressor map I've seen on turbos all the way to 3,000+ horsepower units, 5:1 is too high to land on even the least efficient island of the compressor map. On paper, this should only be blowing hot air and losing power compared to a lower boost level that would actually align with the compressor map, but clearly that isn't how it's working in the real world. What am I missing???

How much psi are you running on that neck vein

hahaha I think about 140/90. He is very excited getting all this info. ;) - Ben

is that the new boostin performance shifter in action ?

Stage the limiter above the launch to hold power at rate x time 🚀

A couple questions, they are running a 30psi base pressure then achieving 80psi+ on "a good track" without c02 boost control.. when we know that the mechanical limitations are roughly x2 base boost.. So are they essentially free boosting it? And with the dropping out of boost on gearshifts why are more not running large recirculation valves to help keep that air in the system instead of wasting it on gearshifts aftermarket boxes or not..?

The 2X rule, as far as I know, only applies to open loop boost control. With closed loop, you control both sides of the wastegate and the peak is in a sense, unlimited.

What G does it pull on the launch ? Looks ANGRY as!

The last thing I would have guessed his previous job was is karate instructor lol.

So what is preventing Red Demon from runnings 6’s. Why is the GTR throwing down 6’s and not Red Demon? Simply Red Demon being manual, or what other factors are there?

They use one billet block and at least one factory cast block. Not sure which was used for the 215mph pass, and the answer might surprise you.
