what kinda gains do you think???

[uofom3]

it could also depend on the state of the parts you're replacing.

If your exhaust is shit and then you add a straight pipe - that could be five hp right there.

I think 10 hp is very doable and i don't see what 20 isn't possible. I would also bring a few small maintenance items up to speed (i.e. fuel filter,plugs,wires,diff/tranny fluid, etc.) otherwise you're really not getting the full potential out of this. Good luck, keep us posted!

I would be extremely happy with 10hp at the wheels...I am replaceing T belt, plug wires , rotor cap & putting the exhasut & headers on before I do the 1st dyno run. Cool thing is they have a really good dyno and can give me torque etc...

This means your second run will only have injectors and chip added, rigth?
This should stil yield a good net difference between injector/chipped car vs not. Headers and such should not really change the chip's performance.

I', standing by to see the before and after results.

The 2nd run will have bigger injectors/chip/M30AFM..

i put down 150rwhp with injectors chip and m30 afm untuned with a nasty vac leak.

you do know that's basically 100% irrelevant, dont you?


Smart money says you'll get more gains from the maintenance stuff than parts bin "performance upgrades"

What dino are you going to in louisville..... do they burn chips?.... and do they have a awd/4wd dyno?

its Autolab...They have AWD dyno, I've never been there, I usually go to Tachyon perf., but they dont have a dyno, and these guys seem pretty cool...I dont know if they burn chips or not..

When are you doing the baseline? Let's see some results, then we can talk smack!

I'm just waiting to get my headers, then full tune-up, hope fully 1 1/2 to 2 weeks..It will not be a totally stock 1st run though, it will have IE headers and a 2.5 " straight pipe exhaust...then the following week I will do the 2nd run with M30afm, 19#s & chip.

Don't worry about absolute dyno #s. What you want to see is the comparison of various mods on the same dyno. Once you get a good increase in power, then you can shop around for an optimistic dyno :D

While you want to see an increase in peak hp, be sure to look at the whole torque curve. Hopefully you'll free up some torque throughout the range, not just at peak.

yep, he said that they have the software/dyno for torque curves and whatnot. he said I can get all the figures that I want for comparison

how much will it cost to dyno it?

I think he said 50 for 3 runs with 2wd, I think its a little more for awd...I can let you know when I go..

man,

i need to find a place for around 50. The ones i've been finding are around 70-80.

Anyone know of good places to dyno in socal? Preferably around IE, OC.

So any updates on this?
