Default Car got retuned! Picked up 60rwhp!

Hey guys! Well got the car back from my shop and i have good news!!

When i left the last time my car was only making 244hp on this shops dyno (really pissed me off)...then the car was backfiring, sputtering and stuff.

WELL...


Round two i let them come and get the car and trailer it to the shop and they went back to work. Found out that a coil pack was arching...got that fixed and swapped out my dynomax bullets back off for some flowmasters (not my choice lol)...and when they are dyno'd it it put down 306RWHP/ 278TQ...which is great on their dyno because it tends to read kind of low AND my motor is a little lower compression then others.


Needless to say i was happy...and the shop only charged me $100 for new coil, dyno time, exhaust swap, and trailering an hour and a half!!! So they really took care of me!

Just thought id give you an update...i don't have the dyno sheets yet im gonna try and get them here in the next few days!

60hp is definitely noticable.. Why wouldn't he feel it? It probably doesn't pull much harder down low, but I'm sure it's a screamer up top now.

I'm weary of a shop fudging with their #'s on a dyno whenever someone gets their car tuned or retuned...but if it feels much quicker then good.

Yea it screams up top now...down low not so much. It feels a lot smoother now thats for sure..im takin it to the track next friday to get the true test lol.

But sorry kugz...he traded the bullets for the flows and install..DAMN! lol

It was also about 95 when we got it dyno'd which im sure didn't help lol. But needless to say im happy!
