LS V8 RX-8 speedway build — custom-camshaft dyno
A 6.0L LS V8-swapped Mazda RX-8 speedway car calibrated on Haltech Nexus. This dyno compares the engine before and after a custom camshaft (not a stock-to-tuned street result): 401.2 → 413.3 kW and 555 → 576 Nm at the wheels, with the largest gains through the low and mid range. A 14:1 naturally aspirated competition engine — see the full engineering case study.

This calibration was developed for a workshop like yours
The Mazda RX-8 above was calibrated by Protunes for a partner workshop — they did the vehicle work and kept their customer; we did the calibration engineering on the Haltech Nexus Rebel LS. Add professional ECU and TCU calibration to your workshop without employing a calibration engineer.
