Great news for those looking to knock some weight off their car. Antigravity Batteries updated their lithium-ion lightweight battery lineup with three options which feature a brand new wireless key fob remote for emergency starts. ...Published on 02-20-2019 06:21 PM
If you had to double or triple check it was California proposing this idea you are not alone. The idea makes so much sense and frankly is so damn cool it will never make it. California is considering adding two lanes to the I5 or CA-99 that will be allowed to top 100 miles per hour. ...Published on 02-20-2019 12:32 AM
43 AMG owners no longer have to feel left out and they are getting attention with turbo upgrades for the M276 DELA30 V6 coming to market. The platform is quite capable with 600+ horsepower in reach depending on supporting modifications and fuel quality of course. ...Published on 02-13-2019 06:10 PM
Damn is this thing fast! Also, it is the quickest overall Mercedes or AMG to ever run from 60 to 130 miles per hour. The record is now 4.37 seconds unless someone can prove otherwise and this likely won't fall for quite a bit unless GAD Motors tops it themselves. ...Published on 02-08-2019 07:52 PM
Turbo-Technik-Hamburg is obviously a German turbo producer but we have not seen too many results with their products. Well, their AMG 5.5 liter M157 turbo upgrade certainly seems to be stout based on these MAHA dyno results. ...Published on 02-08-2019 05:43 PM
Remember California Assembly Bill 1824? As a refresher, if a Police Officer thinks your exhaust is too loud you get a mandatory $1000 ticket instead of the old fix it ticket. Well, you are not the only one who thinks the policy is just a government overreach to grab cash. ...Published on 02-02-2019 10:11 PM
This year's list is a couple of weeks late but this actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise with some major automotive performance debuts and achievements taking place just in time to sneak onto the list. Feel free to check out last year's best and worst of automotive performance list. ...Published on 01-30-2019 01:31 PM
The Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon has the aerodynamics of a brick and the weight of a Panzer tank. So what? Mercedes just keeps making it better and better. With the new 9-speed transmission and M177 4.0 liter twin turbo V8 the G63 AMG is more capable than ever. ...Published on 01-29-2019 03:06 PM
You could say this is an interesting field but truly there are only a few standouts. Of the eight cars, does anyone really feel the Ford Fiesta ST or Volkswagen Up GTI really have a chance? Especially when cars like the 488 Pista, 991.2 GT2 RS, and McLaren 600 LT are included? ...Published on 01-29-2019 02:32 PM
The Mercedes G550 (known as the G500 ROW) utilizes the 4.0 liter M176 variant. This is essentially the M177 AMG twin turbo V8 powerplant in a lower state of tune. That means it has quite a bit of potential to unlock and makes for somewhat of a bargain in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. ...Published on 01-28-2019 07:23 PM
As the BoostAaddict.com Automotive Performance Network continues to expand into higher end tuning coverage you will naturally see the McLaren aftermarket get increasing focus. HyperCar Development is a McLaren tuner many of you likely have heard of. ...Published on 01-28-2019 07:10 PM
Excellent power out of the 2.0 liter M133 AMG four-cylinder motor. A2performance in Russia tuned this GLA45 AMG and managed to hit 442 all wheel horsepower out of it on a Dynojet in SAE correction. ...Published on 01-25-2019 07:20 AM
This is a great article written by @HeadgamesDave (Headgames Motorworks) for speed.academy which goes over some misconceptions in the world of Cylinder Head Porting. Dave as you might recall was the one who examined F80 M3 and F82 M4 S55 valve float issues and developed a performance cylinder head. ...Published on 01-23-2019 12:28 PM
Syvecs is wasting no time rolling out applications for their new S7 standalone ECU range. The Mercedes-AMG M156 and M159 6.2 liter naturally aspirated V8's are getting attention owners looking to get the most from their setups should be intrigued. ...Published on 01-17-2019 11:53 PM
Mercedes-AMG threw people for a loop when they stated the 2019 Mercedes-AMG C43 which receives a bump in output to 385 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque has larger turbocharger. AMR Performance later stated the newer C43 M276 V6 in fact utilizes the same turbocharger it always has. ...
