I agree. This platform is basically shìt in terms of performance NA mods. That's why I went with a huge shot of nitrous and now I'm doing a BP kit. I commend him for thinking outside the box. Oh well if doesn't make that much power but there are also people putting full top secret/amuse/arc stuff on and are gaining the same if not less power than wayyyy cheaper stuff available.

Once again no one reads. Box was delivered empty and put into the mail box. Post office doesn't need you to sign unless over $400. They also market box empty with official stamps. The seller put a couple pounds into a box with no padding. Pads are heavy and busted out the side. Seller also didn't insure $155 brake pads for $155. He only took priories free $50. This is also something I NEVER do! If I ship you something there will be padding so the parts can't move and I'll insure for what you paid! Period.

So again by pulling timing which equals a loss in hp on almost all cars you believe the test is invalid? Interesting. I'll remember that. The cars running around 23 degrees of timing now. Clearly something's not right. My car with the same mods are running 28 degrees with the same ported parts. Only difference is cat vs catless. Clearly no one can hold on a week so forget it.

O and love how I come out and tell 100% what's going on and what I did but any big wig company says we did nothing or tells you nothing sometimes not even showing AFR and you all just take their word. I love the amount of pawns in this world.

No the test is invalid because you have no control. You've tested multiple cars, on multiple dynos, on multiple days, with multiple mod iterations, and you are trying measure improvements that are within the experimental error of temperature and humidity.

Get the car setup with whatever "cheap" exhaust you would like and then all in the same day, without unstrapping the car from the dyno.
Dyno chart 1) Baseline it.
Dyno chart 2) Tune it to whatever level the tuner feels comfortable with. A combination of fuel points, timing, etc..
Dyno chart 3) Bolt your mods on. Base line it.
Dyno chart 4) Tune it to the exact same level of aggressiveness as dyno chart 2.

The differences in 2 and 4 are the impact of the mods. If the mods allow you to run more fuel or timing without knocking? Great! Want to change the exhaust again? Or add an electronic fan in the intake? Or a flux capacitor? Cool, but you have to start at dyno chart 1 again.

But until you do this or something similarly scientific, you don't have ****.

very well said on how to take a more scientifically acceptable methodology. i mean if i ran a tune on my car i'd like to dyno before/after to see the differences for AF ratios, wtq/whp, etc... plus i can actually change my sticker to reflect that +hp that happened

hmm... anything over 300 hp is pretty beefy IMHO. there are diminishing returns though... if i had a 500whp tt monster z how much of that 500 ponies is actually useable/practicle for street use?

it's all about your application. some need it, some want it, some rather not.

i personally like NA engines characteristics so back on topic of... i look to squeeze every last ounce out via bolt ons and any other 'serious' mods that may come after the 'easy' gains are achieved.

Lol no I haven't! I tested one car, on the 30th, period! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE DID AND WHAT I SAID WE'D/DID DO!!! The lack of reading posts is insane in here

He showed up
We strapped him down
We tuned like you said
We installed parts
Car knocked
We pulled a few degrees
We finished tuning ported parts

Car made 319 vs 313 and 260 vs 255. Car picked up 11hp down low and nothing mid range.

Owners buying test pipes and coming back.
We'll put his OEM stuff back on and base run.
We'll tune like you said
Put our stuff back on
Try to dyno as is
Finish tune and see increase.

Yes 100%! But like I've said already a dozen times, I have no signal but on a mountain side hunting from 12/1-12/7. I asked the wife to text me pics if she can find them. She sent me mine from a week ago. Give her credit! All I have is the very first run and the very last in STD. I want to only show the parts graph and in the proper SAE that again I've already said! Correction doesn't really matter but me only having the 20/20 gain from the start of the day till the end of the day does no one any good!

That's the tuners call to post that. I'm not sure what was done but from days beginning till days end we targeted and achieved pretty much 12.5 the whole time. All I know 100% is the cars timing is WAY down vs what mine and others are. This again doesn't affect all you as the car still made good power but something's up!

If I'd of known better about the owners 08 80,000 miles g37 7at with HFCs id of never picked him as a test car. I wanted a 6mt catless but I'm committed to him now.

Going out west next year for some elk. My two sons and grandson each got an elk this year. :yum: :yum:

Lol well I haven't lied to you. It's not going to be a huge shocker as I've already told everyone where and how the car made power. If someone told me they were African American I wouldn't ask for a pic. I get you all want to see it but I have a pretty photographic memory I'm tying to help with as I'm not home.

Again, run 13 after all tuned stock intake parts-313hp 255tq SAE.
After ported parts with tune run 20- 319hp 260tq SAE after about an hour with swap.
11hp from start to 4500
Zero from 4500-6500
6hp from 6500-7800


Run 2 stock base- 299hp 240tq SAE
Run 20 ported plus tune- 319hp 260tq SAE
20/20 overall

Can't be more exact than that.

My tree stand and hill are couple thousand feet up. I hunt from sun up till sun down minus lunch. It also takes a good few minutes to open pages and navigate screens. I'm in my truck now parked on a hill side doing all this and wife just sent pics of just the parts added with tune.

PS that deer was shot 20 feet from my stand. Hence the ability.

Loading pics now. May take a min.

Does an automated machine do the p/p or is it done by hand? Do you send us used p/p'd parts and we turn around and send you our oem to continue the cycle?

Thanks for sharing pics and dyno charts
