We just wanted to let you all know that we have started prototyping new components for the XLR V-Series application due to recent demand. These new performance items are quite extensive and will yield ample amounts of gained horsepower and torque. We have a number of different ways to make power with this application. From cylinder head work, super charger boost upgrades, stage 1 & 2 air intake systems, ECU chip upgrades, big brake upgrades, etc... We have a few customers cars that are getting the full blown performance upgrades, so we will keep everyone posted on the measured performance gains. We have calculated Volumetric Efficiency and are looking forward to the new HP & TQ increases. Here are a couple of pics from last weeks tear down for stage 1 upgrades. We will be happy to post additional images a little later. Maybe even some video from the dyno session! 
Please let us know if there are any questions.
Thank you, |

I honestly think that someone has to come out with an easy way to lower our vehicles, I haven't had a chance to look under my V to see how the suspension is put together, but I hope it has adjustable screws just like the vettes do.
I also like the air intake systems you guys are working on, ECU's, big brakes and every other item that you guys can come out with will be more than welcome in this comunity.

We thought we would share some additional images of our stage 1 & stage 2 air intake system. We will have dyno figures later this week. Please let us know if there are any questions.

Just incase you all were wondering what happened on the dyno. We are building a new ECU chip for this vehicle and should have figures next week. Please let us know if there are any questions.

Thank you for that information. We will certainly be releasing our system very shortly. The XLR-V is going back to the dyno next week for some more testing. We will be happy to share with you all the new figures! We think you all will be very surprised how much horsepower we pick up! (Certainly worth waiting for!!!  )
