Nice, how about the torque though, they say you can actually lose a little? Did you install them and then have it tuned or did the shop do it and how easy is the install?

Did you have a tune and a dyno pull pre and post the delete plates, or just post? Saying you got 17hp with the plates is a little deceving. I am sure a tune without the plates would have given some pretty similiar results.

Tuned with what I had, the car put down 270 and 299 to the real wheels. The delete plates and tuned again for them I put down 287 and 299, 0TQ but 17 rwhp. I had a shop install them, it took about 25 minutes for the guy at the shop to do the install.

those are some good numbers. if you read two different articles about the delete plates, you get two different opinions. i hope i see similiar gains on saturday with mine. did they say how far off the a/f ratio was before the tune? i am just curious as to how it affects it. good numbers though.

My air to fuel was not very off at all after the plates. My air to fuel is 12.4 to 1 with the tune, I think before it was 11.xx to one.
