Default 2013 GT500 Steeda Tune Dyno 10% Overdrive and Long Tubes

We recently tuned a 2013 GT500 here at Steeda Autosports whose only modifications included a 10% overdrive pulley, Kooks Long Tube header system with high flow cats, and a touch of our custom dyno tuning.

The difference? An additional 96.7 horsepower and 90.34 ft/lbs of torque at the wheels!

Needless to say, this car is now much more fun to drive! While the peak to peak torque gain is 90 ft/lbs, from 4600rpm to 6200rpm the torque difference is well over 100 ft/lbs through that particular range!

Sounds great! Would love to see the dyno sheet to see the stock/aftermarket curves.

So now the car only has about 775HP. Awesome... Please explain your solution to fitting wider rubber on the car, as well as your watts link and your x brace solution with other stiffening goodies to get the lateral G's with the figure 8 and slalom to improve. Also break cooling ducts or or directed air flow kits.

Could we see a Steeda solution to improve the suspension, chassis stiffening tire width, and break cooling please. Thanks, Erik

The basis suspension underneath with a few exceptions is the same as previous GT500's. The one big exception is the optional electronically adjustable shocks and struts.

If you have the standard shocks and struts our Tokico D-specs combined with our GT500 specific springs are a great upgrade. Our GT500 springs will only lower a 13 about 2/3 of an inch in the front and 3/4 in the rear. Ride quality will hardly change but handling will improve noticeably due to the higher spring rates.

This picture will give you an idea of the ride height on a 2013 GT500 with our springs.
