It would cost him even more money but it would be a great data point in trying to answer the question of whether a too free flowing exhaust negatively effects the actual numbers when SCing.

Alright guys, I'm gonna take my car to the same place where tomavone got his car dyno at tomorrow. Let's see what's the differences is. note, I only have CBE.

More data = better decisions. FTW! :tup:

But wait, what was the delta??? Sorry for being lazy but did you do a baseline run? At the end of the day, thats all that matters. Maybe your car stock was 250-260whp? Or maybe Stillen sucks? ;) i kiddd i kidddd...

phimosis has headers and hfc and his hp is 421 and hes is running 93 octane still shy of the 438 advertised by stillen. He also has the orignal 9lb pully. Rcz is also running hfc and headers.
Got the car back today and runs way better. Has lots of power down low but sucks up high. Just doesnt seem worth the money to gain 74 hp. I think my car is going to make a trip down to stillen to either get the tune down or remove the supercharger and get my money back. Im not looking for a dyno queen but numbers close to stillens would be nice since thats what i paid for. By the way i know your reading this stillen. Do the right thing and fix it its been over two months and over a dozen calls to u by me and my shop

my baseline was 274. With Exhaust hfc and intake 302. with supercharger, exhaust and hfc 376. Stillens baseline was 276. Stillens numbers with exhaust and supercharger 437. My torque with the supercharger is 299 Stillens is 343. Both done on a dyno jet same temps same elevation.

You guys are getting STD numbers right? Just checking...might be why you're off by so much.

NYBladeZ 09-08-2010 06:55 PM

Jeez man that really sucks and I commend your patience up to this point. DannyGT, your up bro, if you can make good power with an exhaust and a bigger compressor with the GTM kit it'd go a long with for those looking to get an S/C.

How is a dyno giving them STDs? :happydance:

RCZ 09-08-2010 09:07 PM

Zing!

No, but really. There's a big difference.

Than go TT and control how much power you put down with a boost controller and be done with it :happydance:

Sorry to hear about all the upsets guys :( RCZ has no problems why so many others?

LateralG'z 09-08-2010 10:12 PM

I am not having any problems either but I definitely think each car should get a custom tune not a canned tune. We are taking a NA to FI and each car should be tuned for minor variances

My numbers are sae, which most consider the most Accuate and widely accepted form of measurement. From my understanding std reads higher by 2 - 4%. The diference between sae and std = less than 10 hp difference in this case.

Umm, the difference can be higher than 2-4%. BOTH Stillen and GTM advertised STD numbers, not SAE. In my case there was around a 20hp difference between SAE and STD.

Some of you guys that are right around 400 or a little over SAE will end up around 420, which isnt as unacceptably far away from Stillen advertised results as it seemed before...

Umm, how can the differnece be higher than 2-4%? What math are u using? Stillen math?
