Still wondering how much power this engine will make. Especially in the aftermarket once you remove the "made to meet emissions" valve/ignition timing.
EPA has mandated the PCM's be "locked", meaning it's no longer able to accept an overlay program.
OEM's extensively test vehicles in ways customers will use them. They test for longevity and meeting govt mandated requirements. It's like a three legged stool, everything is in balance. Increase power, and the leg for product reliability and/or the leg for emissions is suddenly shorter and the stool is no longer in balance.
