Zackly.. MODS!! For our HEAD dyno's we use the daily drivers like MOST MINI's out there... and the average HP gain is 25-27 actual at the wheels, in a hot Fl environment and usually "hot lapping the pulls" ( less than 5 min cool downs) This way the MORE mods.. the COLDER the air .. the better the TUNE, you can / will see MORE HP gains!! Instead of posting the bells and whistle highly moded cold air temp ball busting numbers... the numbers are closer to real life for the street/track cars out there!! Yes?? Total numbers with my 06 at present went from 145/137Tq to a 205/178tq. in the heat and with a 15% pulley, CAI and PORTED stock valve size HEAD!! The Tune will be along soon.. and we will see what we can wring out of the Head with stock valve size!! just a thought...

Just me..............................

You know... JOHAN, does have a good point on Dyno numbers.. if you DONT read the mods, or air temp, rpm at max... you really can get something LESS than what you really think your getting...yes?? just a thought here!! cool??

I kinda agree with littlehandegan on this one. You came in this thread and started talking about Gintaini, you had to expect people would ask questions. What about my post #17? Have any info on this stuff?

Im just saying IT BLOWS MY MIND THAT YOU HAVE A 300 HP M45 CAR AND YOU REFUSE TO POST A DYNO. I just dont know why you wouldnt. Ive seen RMW and thumpers heads and number behind them. I just dont get why you wont post the numbers. \

You won't see too much

you'll see the mill work from the CNC on the ports, and you'll see the nice shiney polished chambers, and you'll see new valves etc. But without the tools to measure the differences, they all look pretty much the same, plus or minus a detail or two.

Here's a photo of the RMW head, I don't have any photo's of Thumper's head. Like Matt said, you won't really be able to tell any difference unless you get one up close and start comparing things. The differences are subtle, but noticeable.
