ok, ive been pondering on this situation since ive started modding my car, after all my money has gone into it, there is no awd dyno around to give me a accurate reading so i was wandering if someone close to the same mods has had theirs dnyoed and could tell me what they were runnin, thanks

big 16 ported and clipped
front mount intercooler
act 2600
manual boost controller
all free mods
k&n air filter
3" exhaust all the way back
short shifter
apex super afc
turbo timer
dejon tool intake
2g mass air flow
eibach springs
550cc injectors
255 walbro fuel pump

OK, thats all i can think of right now, i know theres more, i know some of that has nothing to do wit hp numbers, and if ya have any suggestions for what i should get next let me know, all suggestions welcome
thanks again
 
It doesn't matter what someone else is running. Every car and tuneup is different. You don't need an AWD dyno to get your numbers. You can run on a two wheel dyno by swapping your Viscous Coupling for a solid one. Or go to a 1/4 mile track, run your car, weigh it and plug the numbers in here http://www.corral.net/tech/horsepower.html Or get a G-Tech Pro and run it yourself. You'll need your accurate weight, though.

My point is there are several ways to get the REAL numbers. Don't waste your time with a guess that MIGHT be close.

BTW my 14B GSX put down 252 HP at 16 psi w/a 35 knock count I have yet to tune out. No guessing - real numbers! :thumb:

I f you can tune it well and run about 19 psi on pump gas, I'd say you can break the 300 whp barrier. On race gas, 350-360 wouldn't be out of the question.
