OK guys my first time at the track I ran a 13.8 trapped 105, I don't know if I should be happy or not with that time. Here are my mods.

Jwt popcharger
Nismo catback
Motordyne plenums
Stillen test pipe and y pipe.

I am not tuned at the moment, but just received my grounding wires and AMS lightwieght pulleys. When I get them installed I plan on getting tuned at hills garage in Baltimore md. My question is what kind of realistic track times should I be running with that setup? Will I be happy with the money spent? :-/

 

You'll get a couple more whp, but nothing to get all excited about.

 

I kinda figured it wouldn't be much horsepower gain, I just want to knock like .3 off my time.. when I ran the 13.8 I was flat shifting lls..so I'm going to get this work done and powershift threw the quarter... I also have a date with a LS1

 

i myself dont have the tune, but my buddy has it on his HR, and he says any bump in WHP is great, but its the throttle response and the way it performs is where that tune shines..
lmk how it feels after because im saving up for it right now

 

on a DE you're really going to notice it. Getting rid of the electronic throttle restriction and fixing the AFR maks a huge difference in responsiveness

 

Cool that'd what I wanted to hear because I always get you can't tell the difference with a lot of DE Bolton's and this is bout to cost $$

 

I got you, I hope to have it installed and tuned by the end of the month.

 

if anything your car is slower than stock now.. get a tune so you can bring your bolt ons to life

 

Slower than stock 0_o I didn't think that was possible lls

 

I'm guessing you have a DE? DE's will gain a bit more @ peak than HR. But what you want out of the tune is the more even power curve all the way up, instead of having dips / power drops then hitting peak power. You will generally gain a bit more power down lower rpms so it'll help with daily driving. Throttle response is also much improved w/ the tune.

 

Sweeett...thanx for that info now I have a better understanding and know what to expect out of this.
