Looks like a nice smooth power curve! I bet your car runs pretty strong!

Holy f#ck...I REALLY need to do a PI swap + long tubes + pulleys + throttle body...

On the other hand, what is a Steeda T/A? Traction arm?

> $1000 = major mod

So, my whole suspension = major mod.

But at least I'll be able to put more of the power (that doesn't exist with an NPI motor) to the ground.

Well i was hoping for a little bit more hp, but it has the stock tuning. It still has stock PI cams, of course now im thinking of getting some vt stage 1 cams, but then agian 125 shot cost about the same and is easier to install .
and yes t/a means timing adjuster.
Im a tech at a dealer so i got the heads free and i did the work my self, so the only thing i realy had to buy were the long tubes, i had the t/a and pulleys before. So its cost be about 500 give or take with buying LT's and the water hose little stuff like that.

Nice numbers. Mine are almost identical with a little different mods. Do you have a stick or auto trans?

If I may suggest, your next mod should be to throw away the "kids" mufflers and get a good free flowing exhaust. It will make a big difference. Trust me. Hold off on the cam 'till this is done.

Send your EEC to Tim Barth and have him reflash it with an adaptive tune. Send him your dyno and a/f numbers.

Check my sig for EEC reflash. Any straight through mufflers - MagnaFlow/Borla etc. There are many choices. Basically, avoid chambered for max HP.

I'm throwing down 200rwhp with approx. 225,000 miles and nearly stock car. My only power mods are K&N air filter (if even), Bassani O/R X, and Magnapack catback. You should easily put down 195rwhp or so.

Is this true even if you don't have a tune?

I took my car to the dyno this evening...got 5 runs for $60.

I walked away a little disappointed, but I really didn't expect much.

My numbers as of 04/06/07:
200rwhp
270rwtq

The owner of the shop/the guy running the dyno said that since I have fully open exhaust, my air/fuel ratio is getting REALLY rich around 4300rpm. He said that once I get my JLT CAI and a tune ($300 to $500, he said), I should be putting down around 230rwhp.

I can't even imagine what I'd be pushing with a PI swap, pulleys, a huge throttle body, and long tubes. 260rwhp -- a man can dream, can't he?
