well in about 2 hours I will be getting my car dyno'ed and tuned to squeeze any extra power out of the thing.

This is actually all in preparation for a lightened driveshaft going in and then a built rear-end with 4.10's. After that is the rest of the intake bolt-ons then a nice 125 shot and the car is done (minus very minor mods).

As of now I have an MAC fenderwell intake, BBK LT's, BBK catted h-pipe, and Magnapack exhaust. Other mods include Steeda Tri-ax, C-Springs, C/C plates on front, and 18'' chrome Saleens rapped with BFG KDW2's - 9'' in front and 10'' in back. Needless to say I am not expecting too much from my pulls tonight. I want a basic baseline for all the good stuff I have planned in the next one year or so assuming my finances stay in order.

What do you guys think? I'm thinking 250rwhp... sound about right?

My friend just had his auto GT put on the dyno this past tuesday and he made good power with minimal mods...on an auto at that....he made 248 RWHP and 295 RWTQ with:

BBK O/R X
flowmaster weld in mufflers
steeda CAI
dragon T/B and Plenum

...you should be more than 250 with that list you have
 
i will post back a bit later and let you guys know where it came in (i'm a 5spd by the way)...

hopefully the tune will get some extra ponies freed up. I will have three tunes:

1) the stock tune running 87 octane
2) a 91 octane tune for mixed fuel
3) a 93 octane tune

I think that is what 1320 is doin for me... I'll ask again tonight. I had a business trip this week so my brain is mush!!!
 
245-250rwhp

The MAC CAI is garbage and can actually hurt performance. Chrome-platted CAI's soak up engine bay heat like flies to rotting meat and act like an oven, heating the air entering the engine (which kills performance).


The BBK H isn't really going to offer a big gain, mostly because it's still got the cats.

Mufflers don't do ****.

Only "real big" mod is the LT's.
 
well guys I got a pretty decent one in here for my baseline...

After tune was 233rwhp and 268rwtq uncorrected. Mind you I'm in Las Vegas in the summer and this was on my 87 octane tune... not my 91.

Elevation up here is about 2200ft above sea level and the temp out here today was 108F on that pull. I'm happy with my baseline so far.

I will be happier once I get my gears and DS in. I'll keep you guys posted!!!

Thanks for all the input by the way... and Pitch Black do u think I would gain anything significant if I put my stock air box back on?
