Sharif@Forged Vortech Tuning Results!
We drove from St Louis to Marietta, GA for a Saturday tuning session. Sharif helped us find the missing HP from the Vortech base tune. We netted a 38rwhp peak increase and a nice linear curve. A/F no longer dives to 10.0 either 
Based on my last dynojet pulls, Sharif's dyno read 25-30 hp less for our vehicle. So if you are looking for SAE Dynojet numbers, add 25-30 and that is ballpark..
Thanks again Sharif, Valerie, and everone else we met up there!

Specs - 2004 5AT, Vortech kit with stock pulley, and plenum spacer. That is it - completely stock exhaust.

This is in stark contrast to my 2003 Lightning with Long tube headers and Bassani cat-back. I have on several occasions woke the dead..

Noticeable increase in power (and noise
) and knocked 0.08 off my 0-60 on my first and only attempt (I'm supposed to be nursing my clutch). 0-60 measured using a GTech accelerometer for what that's worth.
