Default $1500 DIY Vortech and Sniper tune...the verdict

I finally got my car up on the dyno, just for peace of mind. I have a pypes catted x, slp catback and a vortech non i/c with the 3.6" pulley with a base sniper tune.

The verdict: 373rwhp/360rwtq. It was pulling a tad lean up top and down low but thats nothing that can't be fixed . I can tell you i was very happy with those numbers.

I'm very impressed as well, I can't wait to see it go down the track

I'm doing his same set up, but I have an Auto, I'll let everyone know what I put down in about a month or so.

Looks pretty good! I bet she runs real strong!

Overall thats a nice smooth curve on all three(hp, tq, a/f). Just add a splash of fuel and your good to go.

This is what pisses me off lol. Nice numbers man, with a 3.33 pulley intercooled I still only managed to get 369 rwhp and no one can tell me why.

That's awesome bro. I'm running 10 lbs non ic, with the sniper base tune. I actually had to take out some fuel from my base tune though because it was running 10.0 A/F on WOT. I'm anxious to see my numbers now.

yup. I took out 0.6 air/fuel across the rpm band this morning. It feels even better, and should be right where i want it. 11.4-11.7.
