โTurn it up Thursdayโ? Yeah I think so ๐
Yesterday my guy Alan Norris hit the rollers at Modern Masters and made some serious gains power!
Alan was already a customer of mine with the SR MSD I worked up for him a couple years ago. Fast forward to 2026 and he was ready for more ponies. He and Josh Faith drove down to Texas and we were able to meet up to discuss setups and form a game plan; while dropping off parts. During the discussion he mentioned my good friend Robert Williams at Vendetta Speed doing the tuner. Immediately I was ready to rock n roll and knew the setup would swing hard!
We decided to run my CNC port through the unported TFS heads along with upgrading to titanium valves, swap the BTR4v2 out for my Excalibur camshaft, and replace my SR MSD with a ported & port matched Hi Ram intake manifold (which he had powder coated in a cool purple)
He got everything installed and had Vendetta Speed get him dialed in on the street via remote tuning over the last couple weeks, making the dyno day a breeze.
Enough talk.. letโs drop some numbers
Old Setup: 564whp/487wtq
-Unported TFS 260x LS7 Heads w/stainless valves
-BTR4v2 camshaft
-IronMask Short Runner MSD intake manifold
New Setup: 659whp/563wtq
-IronMask CNC ported TFS GenX LS7 w/ Ti valves
-IronMask Excalibur camshaft
-IronMask ported & port matched Hi Ram intake manifold
Thatโs a gain of 95whp/76wtq ๐ณ and just look at the area from 5500-7k rpm.. such a huge gain there!
Kooks 2โ longtube headers to Corsa extreme, 103mm throttle body, and E85 remained the same for both setups.
Alan I truly appreciate you letting me be a part of this project and I canโt wait until you get some draggy data soon as well as some runs against others in your area ๐. Next year letโs open up the Hi Ram and put a 112mm TB on for some more power ๐
Robert Vendetta Speed it was awesome to be a part of yet another badass NA LS7 project with you brother. Itโs proven at this point.. any combo we are both a part of just flat out hauls ass. So thanks for extracting all the power and keeping these monsters healthy. On to the next one my friend ๐ป
