I'm pretty sure that many of the other owner are like myself awaiting the tuning package before we continue to post #'s.

That and they are just so happy they are out drving the cars and enjoying their Mini's so much they don't have time to play with with pissing contests.

Helix did pre and post dynos that were quite impressive. They were posted in one of these threads...

Hey Jan, question for you! Let's say hypothetically I'm planning on doing another turbo R53, and I'm also hypothetically going to blueprint the long block this time around. What kind of RPM limit is your cylinder head valvetrain good up to? 9,000rpm...or more?

Thanks,
Ryan

Supertech has said that valvetrain as it sits has seen 10k rpms

Thank you very much! 10k sounds like fun, now we just need to work on the rod ratio, LOL!

I plan on starting this project in about a month, I have already done the preliminary stuff to get the ball rolling.

Thanks Jan and RMW!
Huge thanks to Jan and his team at RMW. I had an issue with my stock head and decided to go with a RMW head instead of another stocker. I contacted Jan and sent him my stock piece. A short while later I got my reworked head back and put on the Mini. WOW! What a difference. Power delivery is intense and smooth. Words cannot describe the immense joy I have when driving the mini now. I kinda get that "first date" feeling in my stomach everytime I get behind the wheel now. Pure driving pleasure.
NOTE: Jan, not only is he extremely competent, he is also very personable. He went out of his way to ensure delivery of the part to my APO address...an act that required a personal visit to the local USPS office. Needless to say, Jan, if you were a chick, I would marry you. I love you man!!! FYI. If you see a yellow cooper S with white top rolling on the autobahn, clear the left lane.

It was my pleasure! Glad to see everything is running great and look forward to some Autobahn video! Thanks for serving..... it's a tough job and I thank you for it!

Let's hold off on the marriage stuff
Drive it like you stole it!

So its a little over 6 months since the first amazing results and still only 3, ( two are " factory " cars ) people have posted dyno results?Have many of these heads been sold and has anyone else noted these type of results? You would think that after 58 pages and over 14,000 posts something else would have come up.It did look promising but as many things do around here got real quiet . All we are left with is rumors and speculation as to what is really going on. Msftoy, Spider X etc. anybody want to give up the goods ?

I would be more than happy to divulge information, except I don't have enough cash to purchase on of Jan's heads. If I did, I would (school loans suck). It's still on my list of mods to do... Keep up the promising work Jan

We have agreed that it is no longer productive to produce numbers for free here at NAM...Hence, we have decided that anyone wanting this information exchange must first join the "Jesus" club by purchasing, installing and dynoing the RMW head...

just kiddn...I'm too busy and too poor now to get on a dyno...

This thread was all about dyno numbers and now its about the track ? The track I know about and beleive me a slow car can beat a fast car depending on the driver so lets not go there . Where has all the info gone after that first big splash ?
