Is that on a canned tune or custom? Nice numbers, congrats

every dyno is different, so you can expect variations in dyno measurements. you cant directly compare dyno numbers from differnt dynos. many times they are close, but sometimes they are not. dynos just measure gain. the track is the true performance meter.

wasnt your tune a custom dyno tune? that in itself can add more power than a canned tune. what was your baseline?

my base was about 271/283. I was thinking of other mods vs money and just wondering what everybody was getting.

I was gonna buy a intake but i might wait wait for this deal for a procharger kit for about 2500 bucks

something like that, the pulleys probably make 3-5rwhp, the cai 5-10rwhp and the rest is in the tune, im sure if i had a custom dyno tune i could easily make 300rwhp
It seems you have somewhat of a factory freak though considering our cars are rated at 300, minus 15% for driveline losses, so thats 255rwhp stock. my first dyno while i was bone stock did three pulls, they made 250rwhp,253rwhp, and 263rwhp, so 32 rwhp gain from udp, cai and a tune, i'll take that anyday!

Its not really custom, all i did was pull the 1 degree of timing to stay on the safe side and bumped up the wot fuel, b/c my airfuel was a lil lean at wot with the 93"canned tune" and i only gained 1hp 1tq doing so

Good Numbers, so this was with a canned 93oct sct tune and not a tune from any of the big three or four tuners out there. A o/r midpipe will put you at 300rwhp or more and 320rwtq for about 170 dollars. These cars are awesome!

So when you say "canned tune" you mean the tune that came with
the X-cal 2 Not the tune that Brenspeed put in it correct.

CORRECT. I HAVE THE 93OCT TUNE THAT CAME WITH XCAL-2 WHEN I BOUGHT IT. NO I DO NOT HAVE BRENSPEED. JOHN DEMOLET DID MY TUNE FOR MY CAI WHEN I BOUGHT IT.

I like your all motor goal. I have a similar set up in mind.
Waiting for FAST to release their intake, that part should
help get your #'s
A grabber orange site. Cool I guess.

Yeah im not so sure about those after market intakes for these mod motors, its hard to beat out these composite intakes because they stay cooler, at least i know for the 2v the money it costs for an aftermarket intake was not worth the money for the lil hp gain, but i am curious to see what comes out as well

I dont take dyno numbers as gospel, but if your running in the 12's with 280 hp,thats pretty good.I doubt mine will run 12's.
