Skunk2 Stocking Order Huge Savings, Fast Shipping!!!
Jan 23rd
I get emails, pm’s and phone calls several times a week asking what cams and valvetrain we suggest. For the last few years Evans Tuning has been almost exclusively selling, using and testing with Skunk2 products. From all of the dyno testing that I have done the Skunk2 cams have made the best power, best idle and overall have been the best engineered. Our top selling Skunk2 camshaft has been the Tuner Series Stage 1 Camshafts. It has stock idle, stock drivability and makes an additional 20-30whp increase in power over ITR and CTR cams in turbo applications. The Pro Series Stage 1 Camshafts have been our second best selling camshaft. The Pro 1 cams are geared toward cars running GT35R sized turbos and larger. There is 300-500 rpms quicker spool and 50-150whp gains over ITR and CTR cams. The Pro 1 cams require cam gears in order to properly dial the correct centerlines on the cams for best power and idle quality. Our biggest issue with Skunk2 products is keeping them in stock! Every spring we get an influx of orders placed for Skunk2 cams, valvetrain, cam gears, intake manifolds, etc. Every spring we run out of stock very quickly, and Skunk2 gets backordered for weeks at a time! We have decided to double our stocking order with Skunk2 to gear up for the increase in spring sales. What this means for you as the customer is deeper discounts, no wait time and fast shipment to your door step. More >
Competition Clutch Huge Stocking Order, Huge Savings!!!
Jan 23rd
A few years ago I was seeing alot of cars coming into the shop with a relatively new clutch brand named Competition Clutch. I had seen some advertisements in magazines, and had seen them set-up at the NOPI race series but never really looked at them much past that. My personal grudge against the majority of the aftermarket clutch brands is using an excessive pressure plate on the clutch to hold the torque, which causes super high pedal pressure and typically a lot of clutch chatter when releasing the clutch pedal. There is nothing worse in stop and go traffic than a clutch pedal that feels like you are pushing against a wall of bricks. Despite leaving you with a well toned left leg, its extremely annoying especially compounded with a “on/off” engagement from the clutch. Race friendly, maybe. Daily driver friendly, no. To my surprise the first few cars using high torque rated Competition Clutches (stage 4 and 5) had surprisingly light pedal pressure and engagement despite being rated to hold 350-450 ft-lbs of torque. The stage 2 clutch which was rated at 275 ft-lbs of torque felt almost like stock in pedal pressure and engagement. I was shocked, and immediately wanted one in my own car! More >
Injector Dynamics 1000cc Saturated Injectors
Jan 19th
If you have not yet heard, the new Injector Dynamics 1000cc Saturated injectors are probably one of the best things to happen to the aftermarket scene in quite some time. I have tuned over 1000+ cars in the last 9 years being a professional EFI tuner. I have encountered many cars that have just ran poorly due to the specific fuel injectors that they were using, even after tuning. This can be attributed to poor atomization, inconsistency in fuel delivery between injectors and increased dead time using a saturated injector driver to drive a low impedance fuel injector. Most of issues attributed with poor fuel injectors are lean misfiring at idle (usually associated with a “popping” noise from the exhaust), rough partial throttle drivability at low throttle conditions (due to slow response time at low millisecond opening/closing) and hard starting.
