Please enlighten us as to why a car equipped with K2 cams that normally would make around the 220@ wheels figure, even with the addition of TWM ITB's make such poor figures?
Maybe it is a tight engine?
Maybe its not.
It just doesnt tie up with what the rest of the world seems to be getting with these mods.
I wonder if its all American advertising hype? :? :? :?

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL POST ON ANOTHER THREAD THAT IS REFERED TO IN THIS POST. :wink:
Notice the "Solid" 20bhp power improvement.
Now look at this:
This dyno graph was with the addition of IPS K2 camshafts. :!:
And I recall a certain race car with Toda A2's running about 200@wheels on the CPL dyno last year. (It was the one evilowl dug up the plots for where they tried the std vs ITR vs Toda A2 camshafts on a Motec ecu then went to CPL to try a Kpro)
Now look at this:
Its the actual IPS results measured at wheel of just the K2 camshafts with intake and exhaust.
And this was the screenshot of 2 identical cars one with Toda N2's and the other with IPS K2's on the same day on the System-R dyno before the software upgrade. Note that both made manufacturers quoted figures:
Today I saw a K2 installed car run a 220bhp@wheels with intake and exhaust on the now upgraded dyno at TDi.
I want ITB's, but by the evidence so far I will be holding out until I see considerably better results either from the same car on another dyno, 1/4 mile times (terminals more than et's :wink: ) or other cars.
Slightly off topic, what were the results from Stanwans running with the clockwise ITB's?
I saw the Nemesis cars results but they were quoting something daft like 22% wheel losses. :?

Can you let me know any more info on them, dosent say much on your website. Also with a set of 'aftermarket' cams what do you reckon power would be roughly knowing what my car has already??
CPL Website said:In both the most recent K20 application and previous B series applications this conversion gives a solid 20 Wheel Horse Power improvement. Coupled with a good combination of Exhaust system and cams power is produced in excess of 9000rpm.
