Custom ported and CNC throttle bodies, upper and lower manifolds by Synergy Composite

so how is the driving impression with the parts bolted on prior to tuning?

Like I said, it feels 100% stock and with so many bolt-ons I don't have a good feeling punching it. However just getting up and going a little not trying to go into open loop, it does feel like its snappier. Like at 1000-3400rpm it feels smooth then at 3500rpm it almost feels like a little turbo kick. Nothing much but a little peppier. I'm very pessimistic when it comes to mods and I try to be very objective since so many people add a part on then come on here and go "I gained a million HP", "my cars on rails now!" And all they did was add a sway bar or CBE. So any positive out of me is amazing haha. Just need to dyno now!!!

PS, I might dyno it as is since they'll have a wide band and be able to read knock. That why we can at least see the before and after of the tune.

It's always in closed loop. There are target AFR maps at all load levels.

That doesn't mean you don't need a tune, but it shouldn't run consistently lean or rich -- it should attempt to trim towards the target, which on the OEM maps is around 11.9 at full tilt.

Head to the dyno!

not when you're in open loop haha.

i know i need a tune. already had knocking with just the LTH install. the log didnt show it but the dyno did. not sure which tuner to believe though so im staying out of open loop/WOT till i get tuned.

i contacted Hal at dynosty since i saw Jon at Z1 say "if you cant tune down here, hal is A OK in my book." dynosty is much closer so we'll see what he says. if i do tune there then ill still come back home and do 3 runs at IPS so we have a before and after on the same dyno. dynosty uses a dynapak i believe so no point in showing those results when ive never been on it before.
