Default Dyno results are in of the red vert...

Car made 331 rwhp and 342 rwtq @ All Aspects today... attended a local dyno day to get a number. Not bad for the following mods and the factory tune:

1. Halltech Venom air intake
2. 2003 Z06 H-pipe w/ Corsa X-pipe
3. Corsa Extremes

I was hoping to be a bit closer to the power figures of a LT header/tune car (around 350) just to see if I could get there w/ the factory manifolds by usin the '03 Z h-pipe and x-pipe, but it didn't happen. I'm not planning on spending $2000 (headers + a tune) for another 20 rwhp.

Another interesting thing was the AFR... it was a solid 12.0:1 all the way through the rpm band... so no gains from a tune... or well minimal ones... you could proabably bump timing a little and lean it out a tinge, but for what... 5 horse?

So that's it for now... no more power mods... time for wheels. Maybe an A&A supercharger kit down the road

Solid results.

I bet you could gain a bit more than 5 from the tune, but then again, I wouldn't pay for a pro dyno tune at that point either.
(Having the software has kinda spoiled me in that regard. )

My line of thinking was that since it's not rich there's not much to be gained from tuning it at this point... thoughts?
