did you have the base kit before upgrading, or am I thinking of another member??

I bet the big bump in hp going from bolt ons to supercharged(150+whp) must be an awesome feeling.

The base kit is good for 120-150-ish rwhp, the cooler upgrade gets you an extra 30-40 or so. I drove the car today and its nice and cool outside. Its quick, thats for sure...

with the base kit i was hitting 390ish. with the HO check out the sig and I have the dyno to prove it. I will be taking her in to promod sooon. I keep saying that but work has me in dallas again... anyway. the Vtech will not disappoint. This thing is my daily driver and boy is it fun.

Yeah your rwhp # is surprisingly high. I wonder what it would do on a different dyno. Who cares though really, long as its fun.

hit high 460ish consistently after several pulls. The high pull was early on and after tweaking on the Dyno. That was 91. I have a 93 tune that needs some perfecting. That should put me in the high 470 to low 480's...

I've found I actually like my 91 tune better than the 93, the car seems to pull/run better on the 91. These are just canned Brenspeed tunes though. I am thinking about doing the HO upgrade later on this year, but I'm on the fence still. I sort of want a CDC shaker and the matching Foose hood, so I might just do that instead.

Yeah its a kick in the pants for sure. You figure mine put down 397rwhp at 5800rpm. Brenspeed raises the redline and dynos to like 6500 I believe. I emailed them a copy of my dyno and they replied that it would have made probably 410-415rwhp had they dynoed it. I just always figure right around 400, as I don't beat the car to redline ever. You'll be happy with it I'm sure. Those 4.10s are going to make it real punchy. I have a hard time keeping mine planted with the 3.73s.

I still believe this is probably the best kit on the market in terms of bang for the buck. I've not seen anything else that comes real close for the price. Its also a proven design and a relatively simple kit/install.
