Just take a look at Dereks car from DSport mag . With his cog pulley set up and built heads and motor [ top of the line build ] . At 18psi he made right at 500whp . This guy is claiming 490whp at half the psi ??? And others claiming 430 to 440whp on 9....10psi ????? I know there are some good tuners out there . But even they cant find magical whp

 

yeah i never understood that either... I have quite a few mods and 9.5psi but am < 400WHP.. where i should be IMHO.. my only guess is that Giles either has a high reading dyno (anywhere from 20-50WHP that i've seen) or he gets all the factory freaks..

super BS

 

490 dhp (Dream Horse Power) not WHP

 

vortech advertises 440 crank HP with the stock REVUP kit...which this guy is claiming to be a stock kit. Sounds like a rediculous correction factor on that dyno!!!

 

Think they advertised 400-410 crank hp on the older motor and the 3.33 pulley . Some one said they use the 3.12 pulley now . Not much difference if true

 

Someone tell me where that dyno shop is so I can get some new #'s. LOL

 

sounds as if he's slightly ignorant of the situation and perhaps the shop even lied to him a little.

 

Make note this is the same tuner that states tuning STI's to 14's on the AF under boost is a good thing

(This was posted in another thread I can't find right now..)

 

Seems like alot of the customers that go there become a victim of what you describe lol

 

I know a guy here that owns a semi performance shop they do some nitrous and other things sometimes. I bought some speaker wire from him for my amps one day and told him i have a 350z now. He then told me about how he put a stillen supercharger on one here in town and it has over 500hp with it. Then he tried to convince me that he could do one on my car, so yea this kid was more than likley lied too by his shop.

 

looks like they posted a new dyno there...

 

I'll have to go there when my ban is lifted . See if I can get banned again...lol
