There is a total of 307 bytes changed. Yes, a large majority of the code is will be the same chip to chip, but there isn’t much changed here.

Alright, the area in the red is the changes that TRM has made. The WOT maps have been changed quite a bit, but the part throttle maps are very similar, down to 1/4 of a degree of timing.

DISCLAIMER* I know those pictures contain some sensitive information about an active tune. Karl has helped me a ton with tuning, and I in no way want to hurt active. I also have not had it out for TRM either, but I don’t see how I could not say something about this.

here are some comparative pics of the ports on the head, and the assembled pistons and rods.

BTW, eagle rods do have markings identifying the rod to its cap, but it’s super faint.

thanks to PSI for providing the air conditioned engine building space, to house all my shiz, deal with me and take the pics. If anyone wants to come by the shop, right next to my disassembling engine (from which you see the stock port), there’s an S85 also being dismantled for a future project, within 20ft from that, there’s 2 HPF cars (stage 2.5 and 3), a 500+whp AA e36 M, a 500+whp e46 AA M3, and a GPower e60 M5 twin supercharger kit in assembly.
