Default Dyno question

So since I am considdering keeping my car after all, what could I see from a dyno tune with my mods, in my sig. Keep in mind I will be replacing the clutch and installing 4.10's. I figure having it dyno'd would be best for the problem I had with it dying right?

I don't know as far as number wise, but let me tell you, it is like a night/day difference with the way you car runs and performs with a dyno tune. A dyno tune does fix most, if not all problems with hesitation, lunging, and stalling.

Ok cool, iv noticed that when I start my car in the mornings and also when its good and warm, it sometimes just barely kicks on - I dont know how to explain it really but other times like when I first got it, it would fire up real healthy and rev to about 2k rpm. Its not like it doesnt want to start or wont start but it just doesnt "fire-up" with excitement every time is the best way I can describe it...

- Could I see more than 300 whp? Or am I way off lol.

I think you may see over 300rwhp, but it all depends on how good your tuner is and if he puts in an aggressive tune or not. Also when he dyno's your car, tell him you want the "SAE" numbers and NOT the "STD".

Yeah it hasn't died yet and I"m getting better mpg's lol. Still leaning btw lol. I don't know for sure. Im arguing with my Dad again about what I need to do. I said I want to fix it, so fix the clunk in the front with new shocks and struts(I think?) which also means H&R lowering springs , and have it dyno'd. Or sell it. Every time I bring it up he tries to avoid it and ends up telling me to just sell it lol.
