Yes, we're hoping to finish up the GURU-364 calibrations this next couple of weeks so we can pre-program our MAP and Link-1 boxes. Have to check in with our beta-tester customer as well. This will be a good benchmark comparing our 194k-mile test car with a customer's brand new rebuilt engine using the same components and calibrations....

Danno,

What is a Guru-364 kit? Does 364 refer to hp or torque?

Gatorbait - it's the Guru version of the Lindsey 363Hp kit - so that's 364Hp...

Just to add - that's 364 Rear Wheel hp which works out to about 420 crank HP vs. your stock 217 or 247 for a 951 'S'. This should make for a scary fast car......

What are you trying to say? The initial dyno results are quite impressive. This is without the intake manifold. I wont reveal any numbers but lets just say it surpasses the Lindsey 363 package by a good margin. This is at 17 psi of boost. We still need to get our intake on and do a little more tweaking but I am positive we will eclipse the 400 at the wheels mark running 18 psi or less. This was our goal. To suprass 400 at the wheels without running excessive boost. 420 should be just a psi, or two, away.......

Megatron, that's a wicked nick!!! 8)

Tim, how much is the SFR package in USD? crank hp?

Danno, how much is the Guru Package, in USD? crank hp?

I'd like a side by side comparison.

Thumbs up

Why keep quiet? If a good margin is 9 horsepower with many, MANY more thousands spent, you're correct. Here's a snip from Lindsey's site:

"The package makes 363* RWHP and retails for $3639.00"

And I think this is yours:

"This car made 372+HP...Over $25,000 has been invested within the last 12 months (not including the price of the car)."

Looks like Lindsey has superior value by a factor of three or four [dollar-wise, and only considering engine goodies since the rest was dumped into so many other parts of the car it makes my left knee cap twitch just thinking about it] but people say its reliability is questionable on the track. Since Danno has always been so concerned with reliability and customer satisfaction I think the GURU-364 will be the best thing out there value [horsepower per dollar] and reliability-wise.

No NEED for a reply Tim, that's enough hijacking from you for one day. <img border="0" alt="[nono]" title="" src="graemlins/nono.gif" />

One thing that's always bothered me about the Lindsey kit is that they don't include the cam (or test pipe) that you need to make that number (363) in the kit. If you're going to sell a "kit" that has a number associated with it, I think you should include everything it takes to get there.

I'll introduce the Joe LeBlanc 401rwhp kit, for... $1k*

*note, does not include turbo, injectors, exhaust, MAF, intake, and blinker fluid needed to make this number. Batteries sold seperately, some assembly required. Thank you, drive through.

I know I'm exagerating, but still, just include the cam in the price so it's easier for all of us to compare things!
