Default Finally The Car Is Tuned

After a year and a half of blood, sweat, tears and a few trips here and there I finally got the car tuned yesturday!!!!!! It made 460whp, 445wtq @ 14psi....the car is like stupid fast.......I still have some small issues to work out though with a stock plenium w/no spacer and a single path 3inch exhaust it had trouble breathing at high hp, but my tuner sayes that with a spacer and a 3inch dual exhaust it should have no problems putting me in the 500+ club.

I do wanna give a shout out and a thank you to all the people that has helped me along the way with answering question and giving advice: George@GTM, Sharif, Phunk, and the guys at AAM.

Also i wanna thank the New Speedshop in Wilmington, NC, National Speed those guys are top notch..........the shop is like nothing i have ever seen, it looks for real like a Nascar Race Shop, extremely clean and organized...........And Ben the tuner does a fantastic job he really knows his stuff.........so if your from nc and want a great shop to go to that is in my opinion very affordable check'em out!!!!

Great numbers! I will be in Wilmington this summer A LOT and definitely want to check it out.

You definitely need to switch to a dual 3" and 3" DP's if you are running a TT

Congrats, Glad you are happy with the car, I don't see any problem making 500 with the upgrades we discussed.

Enjoy yourself!

You should see 500 easily with 3" dp's and a 3" exhaust, no questions asked.

Post up the dyno sheet...congratulations

Smoothing of 5 puts makes the dyno chart looks smoother. Smoothing of 0 basically means no smoothing. .98 is correction. On this day, the dyno pulled out 2% from the reading to account for ambient conditions.
