"We’ve always appreciated stock fuel injectors for their reliability and consistent performance under heightened fuel demands. By upgrading the low-pressure fuel system and modifying the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) with a cam that enhances its stroke, we managed to elevate fuel rail pressure close to 3500 psi. This tactic effectively increased the lb/hr flow rate of the injectors, which follow a Bernoulli-like principle: higher pressure equals greater fuel flow. Manipulating the start of injector timing was key to accommodating our E85 and 25+ psi boost needs. However, upon deeper analysis, we realized optimization was still amiss. Our developed software visualized the piston's position relative to injector timing across the RPM range, revealing fuel injection occurring while the exhaust valve was open and extending well into the compression stroke. The result? Injector pulse widths surpassing 7ms at 6000 RPM. Enter XDI Injectors, offering a 50% increase in fuel delivery. This upgrade allowed us to refine injector timing, syncing it closely with the closing of the exhaust valve and optimizing initiation during the intake stroke. The outcome was not just theoretical; we observed tangible improvements. Keeping boost levels, timing, and AFR constant, we escalated from a 7.51 1/8th mile at 91mph to a 7.38 1/8th mile at 93mph. This breakthrough signifies not only a present win but the potential for future enhancements, ensuring our capacity to meet increasing air demands. We're thrilled to see what lies ahead with this upgrade, truly a game-changer in fuel injector technology!" 

"Pushing our record-setting car to new power heights brought an unexpected challenge: a decline in the transmission's shift speed and consistency. Ahead of Drag Week, we dove into upgrades, starting with a Sonnax zip kit in the valve body, designed to stabilize pressure with enhanced seals and valves. The impact was immediate, slashing our 2/3 upshift time from 0.7s to 0.4s. We hit Drag Week confident but quickly faced transmission flares, ending our hopes for a 10-second E.T average. The following eight months were a deep dive into the transmission's nuances and countless calibration refinements. We emerged with an intimate understanding of the TCM system, its data sources, and how they intertwine to forge swift, consistent shifts. The result? We transformed erratic .4-.7s shift times to a steadfast .1s! This precision not only safeguards the transmission by minimizing heat from clutch slippage but also ensures smoother handling and repeatable drag strip performance. We're now proud to extend these services to all GM 6-speed 6L45/50 transmissions. Our ECM calibration journey also brought insights into mitigating Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI). Extensive oil testing and data analysis revealed that engine temperature and load were primary LSPI catalysts. By adjusting the transmission's upshift points and widening the gap between upshift/downshift points, we effectively reduced LSPI incidents. These discoveries underscore the intricate relationship between ECM and TCM calibrations and their collective role in enhancing engine health and performance."
