Tuned KB - New #'s!!!

Dig-It · Dec 13, 2003

I got a custum tune done on the Stang today at Dyno Tuned Performance in Chesapeake, VA.

Old #'s (right after KB install 0n Sep 5th):
392rwhp / 434rwtq

New #'s (after oil change, new plugs, KB CAI, & dyno tune):
420rwhp / 460rwtq

I'm still very happy!

(Once again, I could use an assist with posting the dyno sheet pic.)

Great numbers Dig Does the car feel any different after teh tune? such as power, drivability, engine smoothness?

...I'm still waiting for my mechanic to install my KB S/C.

Oh yeah! Driveability is still the same but I can definitely feel the power increase once I get into it. She's still pretty smooth even though the tune is a little more aggressive.

May be this is dumb question but I'm trying to learn here, how is the tune done? I know that it's done on a dyno, but did you have to re-burn your KB chip? If so, did you sent the chip back to KB for the re-burn? One more question, are you running the 9psi intercooled kit?

Email the graph to DeadLurker@aol.com and I'll post it for you.

Kid:

No. The shop has the software and a chip burner. They start with a baseline program and then tweak the program by adding or subtracting fuel & timing (and I'm sure other things that I'm uneducated in). Then they throw the chip back in the car, dyno it, evaluate, and tweak again if need be.

Nice. KB =

I'm torn between getting a KB, and the T & J up comming single turbo kits. KB I'd get to keep my current exhaust that I absolutely love. In the meantime I'll just be jealous of everyone else.

Oh OK, thanks for the quick reply and the info. I'm having my KB Kit installed this weekend. I only know of two dynos here in PR, but I'm not quite sure if they have the equipment/computer/knowledge to tweak my KB mono-chip. What options do you think I have to get the most Hp out of my KB kit? I guess my only option is to have the car dynoed and send the graphs to KB for a re-burn of my chip...is this about right?

Heck, He'll smoke alot of cars with those numbers. I wouldn't want to race him for money....

Great numbers. That torque is crazy on those KB's. I was at a dyno today and a viper with a KB made 750hp/950ft-lbs of torque...... Crazy

'96&'01Stang · Dec 13, 2003

Those are crazy numbers....makes me think a lot harder about getting a KB

Dig-It · Dec 13, 2003

The sig is up to date (even the 9lb part)!

Anyone interested in a intercooled novi 2000 with the steeda package for a good price? I need a KB now!
