Big thanks to the doctor at OSdesigns

not too bad for a stock car on stock boost

I'll try to get the graph scanned sometime soon

245 rwhp
211 lb/ft torque

mods:

pettit downpipe
Power FC
dremmeled airbox w/ K&N filter
JIC Bullet Titanium catback

 

Your intake and intercooler (or lack of) is holding you back. You should consider these as your next upgrades, they will allow you to get closer to 300hp.

 

yep. I understand my limitations. 230-250rwhp was my goal at this point, but more than anything it's to have a healthy and reliable car.

I've had the car a year, and already put ~$9k into the car (including new engine) It's time to take a break on the mods until the car is paid off (1.5 years). I'm happy with what I have until then.

 

as long as your happy yo...not too shabby numbers either.

 

im going to be getting my Power FC tuned on the 15th of july by KD Rotary, i think im gonna be running my turbos at around 14psi i hope to hit 300 rwhp.

 

BigRed:

Where did you dyno at? Did "ghetto dave" tune on the dyno or on the street?

FWIW, I hit 240 rwhp with downpipe and cat-back on the stock ecu, so it looks like a safe, conservative tune (although with the differences between dynos, who knows).

More importantly, did you have him tune for drivability? How smooth is the car in all driving situations?

Thanks.

 

fwiw, i hit 313rwhp with just a PFC, midpipe, downpipe, and GT spec exhaust. i still had the stock airbox and intercooler, running 15psi. not really safe, but just thought i'd share

 

Wooha. Bring it on Boys. Turn that Boost up! Mo Money Mo Money!

 

Spoolin: that's too agressive for me right now.

Zoom: ha.. nope.. I'm cool with stock boost

rynberg: Dave tuned it on the dynojet at ATP in fremont. I bought the PFC used, and was told that there were no changes made to any of the maps, which I found out wasn't true. I had dave tune with reliability in mind rather than performance. I've got plenty of time to worry about that. He did do numerous partial throttle runs and got everything in a state that I felt comfortable with. Also we were tuning in 99 degree heat, the numbers may be a little higher at lower temps, but again with reliability in mind, having it tuned conservatively for that heat, I know that at lower temps I can have confidence in my car not blowing up.

standard 2nd engine jitters right?

Cool, thanks for the info. I hit my 240 at ATP too (a lot cooler day, but SAE corrected). I like their shop. I'm glad that Dave could tune it pretty well.

I wouldn't know, I'm still at 71k on the first one....(knocks on wood).

 

about how much were you charged just for the tuning?

 

And what happened to your car during a 150mph run?

I was thinking about your dyno runs when he mentioned what he put down. The tune wasn't THAT aggressive either.

Big Red, you still have more power there, but hey, if you're happy who cares.
