that sounds pretty badass to me..performance dyno in concord n.h charges atleast 500.

whos the tuner? your buddy or a actual pro tuner?

Hey not to hijack, but I live in Holyoke, MA about 30 min from south Windsor. I have an uncle who actually just built a house in south Windsor. I am currently gathering parts for my build and will be in need of a good tune afterwards. Any chance your guy can tune me for $200 next spring? Thanks!

Call me nosey, but where in SW is it? Total Induction? I live in SW, so I'm just curious.

im down to make a trip..idk how the car is going to run getting there though with the LQ4

Ahhh so he's the turbo bob I heard about from my DSM buddies. Seems like a nice set-up, come springtime when I get everything I have sitting in the garage put on the car I might have to swing by.

It should be fine, just more air flow, right? And you said plog, are you using 2?

front plog to 3" dp to 2.5 magnaflow catback...stock rear manifold/crossover

You should really see a significant difference if you add pacesetters to this build, I believe.

the rear manifold isnt a restriction..my exhaust in general isnt restrictive

You could just buy a tuner for $250-300 and learn to tune it yourself. Much better route then having to drive to someone who lives far away. Plus what if you need a re-tune or you are having problems with the current tune after the dyno tune?

20 Crank and 20 WHP are two very different things.

Headers would be better here. Flat out.

i disagree... doubt gains would be substantial, i have plenty of flow mods. id like to see some real world testing to show headers over plog/d/p. not worth the cost/minimal power gains
the areas of restriction in the exhaust has been taken care of

Fixed

I think it is fine for now. The next build you do though, I would cam and put on headers. Low 13's (with tune).

im not going to have a pi$$ing match with ya guy..until you show me numbers its just an opinion

You sound like a guy off the regal site who doesn't believe in headers either, yet *****es that their 3.5 setup knocks on a plog and is still slow.

Good luck!

i run 13.8 on a 2.1 60ft..that is right on par for my mods..i have 0 KR and i have a box tune, with a custom tune it would be that much faster


some cars knock when they shouldnt and some dont when they should
