Although your a/f numbers are off. The power numbers could be correct. LV is 2000 ft above sea level and could account for the lower power numbers.

Alrighty...

After searching around, I was only able to find one other shop in town that I would feel comfortable going to. The shop used to be a local performance shop with a great reputation. However, now when I call them, it appears they've changed...

Unfortunately, the shop has been taken over by, or switched to, Shelby American's new Speed Shop.

I called to ask how much it would be just for some basic testing, no tuning needed (for now). They let me know that it was $150 for 3 pulls, but would provide the usual power, torque, and a/f readouts. Is that high? This seems a little steep, but I'm assuming it's because the shop is Shelby branded and run now.

I've already pulled the stock intake and cleaned everything including the MAF and the TB. Everything looked great with no loose connections or holes. Even though I didn't before the test, I'm still kinda babying the car when I have to drive it. I'll most likely be going back to the dealer anyways to get it re-flashed, just in case.

It costs 80 bucks for 3 pulls where I live and it's a hell of a nice place. I'd say 150 is high, but perhaps thats the norm where you live?

REDinLV

Yeah, I'm definitely going to keep looking. The shop I had do the initial testing, where this whole fiasco started, charged $75 for 3 runs. That price seems about average in other, out-of-state locations I've found. Since I'm supposed to be babying it though, I really don't want to take the car out of town. I might just end up at Shelby paying the $150.

Although, I could always do as others here have said and just skip the whole "baseline" step by getting the CAI, Tuner and tunes from Bama or Brenspeed.

Decisions, decisions.

That sounds like a plan right there.

I don't give a crap about baseline. I would get the mods done and then dyno it if you have to know.

All that jagged-ness in the dyno run is detonation. I'd be willing to bet your plugs are fried. It looks like you just need a good quality tune, some new plugs and your car would be in good shape. Does the car feel like those jagged lines? It should accelerate nice and smooth. I'll bet it doesn't. I've seen that a million times before with people who run octane boosters that fry the spark plugs.

Definitely replace the plugs, make sure that you're running the best quality fuel that you have available and get a new mail-order tune. I'd be willing to send you one out for free to see if it clears up your troubles.

PM me over your SCT programmer Serial Number, your PCM code and all of the modifications that you have, from exhaust to intake, etc. Also send me your rear tire size and what gear ratio, and I'll email it over to the email you specify.

Hey Chris, I am having problems with my car too. It's really slow, you wanna hook me up too?









J/K. Gotta love AM!

REDinLV

Wow! That's very nice of you. Just another reason I love this forum. I'm actually going to order my CAI and tuner in the next day or so. I just need to find a buyer for my stock rims.

Thanks for the advice on the plugs. I picked up a fuel filter, just for the heck of it as well. I'll swap the plugs and fuel filter when the CAI and tuner arrive.

Thanks again everyone!
