Hey Guys,
I just wanted to share my experiences from my Dyno tune yesterday. Just to bring you up to speed, I did the full top end on my car about a year and a half ago. I left the stock bottom end with 159,000 on it (174,000 now). I went with unported gt-40 Y's, 1.6 FMS roller rockers, untouched 94-95 FMS Cobra Intake, FMS B-303 cam, ceramic coated mac 1 5/8 shorties, 24# injectors, 75 mm Pro-M mass air and a BBK 70 mm throttle body. Of course I had all kinds of idle and driveability issues but I tuned on it constantly and thought it ran better. Before the motor work, it pulled 205 HP and 271 TQ with a cold air and pro-chamber. Imagine my surprise yesterday when the first pull netted 247 HP and 269 TQ. This was the way I had been driving it for over a year. I was a little bummed to say the least. I had spent a lot of money(in my checkbook anyway) and there was not that much difference. After 5 chip burns and 5 more pulls I left with 280 HP and 310 TQ. HOLY CRAP! TOTALLY different car now! The car really responded to the SCT chip. The throttle response is SOOOOOOO much better. I highly recommend this to all of the guys out there that are having problems with their combo's. I was determined that I could make it run without a chip. Well, it ran but not very well evidently. I am in Atlanta by the way, so if anyone needs a good 5.0 shop head over to Prospeed in Powder Springs. They are great guys.
