Wow thanks for dynoing my car. I'm just telling you I raced a 06+ ss impala from a 30 roll and whoever got the jump held that lead till 100. I couldn't pull on him, he couldn't pull on me. That was even with my blower hot and a **** tranny. I know now I'd pull at least a car length on him to 100

Don't worry, that's crank bullsh1t.

LS4 cars struggle to make 260~ FWHP...that's why a stock-ish blower car can hang or beat up on them.

Their drivetrain loss is pretty decent...think close to 20%-ish.

That and their intake side and peanut cam doesn't help anything either.

I think when you wrote you were "basically stock" we thought you had basically stock HP output.

My car is stock. Stock pulley, stock **** tuning, only performance mod I have is a shift kit if you can even call that a "performance mod" I don't consider exhaust and intake to be a mod cuz they don't add power just "free" it up. I don't think my car makes more than 200hp to the tires if 200.

Lightly modded. Your guess at HP is probably close. Get a PCM I think you will like it.

I'm doing a p-log first then going down a pulley size. Then I'll need a pcm

I bet you'll wish you did the PCM before the pulley if you are scanning. I don't have a '97 but with my setup I still see a little KR once in a while.

I do scan all the time. See a blip of kr occasionally on wot 1-2 shifts if its really hot. Other than that im pretty good.
I have a question tho on pcm's. If I get a tuned Pcm before more mods how much to get it retuned?

Sent from my iPhail

what kind of tune are you looking to get? If it's just a canned tune you can keep modding with the same pcm. If it's a custom tune throw everything on your car and drive it to the tuner.

usually canned tunes are tuned according to your current mods.
if you drop a pulley after you put a canned tune on, you are going to need a tune.

I'm talking price on additonal canned tunes after I buy my tuned pcm

Sent from my iPhail

youd have to talk to your tuner/vendor on that one

That's what I figured

Nope! A PCM will take you through all the basic mods. If you do a cam or have to do injectors, etc you will need a cutom tune. You can drop all the pulleys you want but you'll do a lot better with a custom tune.
I agree with dsmuts on loading up than get a great tune.
