Very impressed with the efforts that HP Tuners has ramped up to finally get the CORE ECU into a formidable beast in the standalone market. Those that have a lot of time invested into using VCM Suite for OEM calibration work will find the navigation very familiar. Currently working on a integration harness to use the CORE with a factory E38 or E67 controller to not kill other OEM functions of a production vehicle.

Passing this on for the team at Katech Engineering. Certainly a great opportunity for qualified candidates looking for a solid part of the performance community.

Katech Engineering is growing, and we’re looking for a skilled High Performance Automotive Machinist to join our team! 🏁

If you take pride in precision work and want to be part of a world-class team building championship-winning engines and high-performance components, we want to hear from you.

Recently drafted tech on LSX Magazine on the fundamentals of intake manifold designs. Appreciate the contribution from the tech guys at Performance Design as we outline some hardcore tech.

Intake Manifold Design: Make Power With LS And LT Engines Learn how runner length, plenum volume, port velocity, and resonance tuning work together to shape power in modern LS and LT intake manifolds.

Often if we don't see it we forget about it. Magnetic Ride Control is a pretty interesting technology that has really evolved over the last 20 years and has changed the suspension spectrum. Check out this recent article whipped up as hosted by LSX Magazine.

Inside GM's Magnetic Ride Control: From Cadillac To The Corvette Magnetic Ride Control evolved from Cadillac innovation into the Corvette's high-tech suspension, delivering comfort and track-ready handling.

Here is the new E94 ECU to initially run the LS6 motor for the 2027 Stingray and Grandsport. This new ECU is very powerful and very fast to handle the recent changes to the new motors timing and fuel controls. Most likely will be in Camaro and truck variants. Let’s go! #2027

Timing is everything and this recently drafted article that was in the que timed with HP Tuners public announcement of releasing calibration support for the C8's elusive Dual Clutch Transmission. Check out this two part tech feature on the TR-9080's history and functions as hosted on LSX Magazine! More calibration tech to follow....

TREMEC's TR-9080: Inside The C8's Dual-Clutch 8-Speed: Part 1 Discover how the C8 Corvette's TREMEC TR-9080 dual-clutch transmission delivers sub-100ms shifts and world-class performance.

Contributing article on how to properly size port fuel injectors. Includes the physics and math behind one of the most important selections when building your high performance engine. More great tech from LSX Magazine

Sizing Fuel Injectors for High-Performance Engines Size fuel injectors the right way. Learn how BSFC, duty cycle, fuel type, and boost determine injector flow for LS engines.

Can't argue when the math lines up with a validation. This is a 2022 C8 with a 416 cubic inch motor I had built "all motor". Airflow was up 14 gr/sec at 4000 rpms and 30-44 gr/sec at 5500-6400 rpms after swapping from a aftermarket aluminum intake to the Performance Design Carbon PTr intake. These same results I have duplicated numerous times in the same areas which surely indicates areas where airflow is stalling. Great job Caleb Newman for truly understanding airflow tuning vs just machining. Upcoming tech article dropping soon at LSX Magazine on a deep dive into intake manifold designs.

Just posted on LSX Magazine this article drafted on cross plane vs flat plane crank engines. Some cool facts and with a emphasis on the LT6 and LT7 engines.

Flat-Plane vs. Cross-Plane: The Gemini V8 Legacy Discover how flat-plane and cross-plane V8s shape the LT6, LT7, and Cadillac race engines that define GM performance.
