Flapjack's ProCharger Dyno Run!
Finally, the moment so many have been waiting for...
Max HP = 320.96
Max Tq = 332.09
I went to Mile High Dyno Tuning up in Denver today. Scott and Joe are great guys and really took care of me. They weren't able to squeeze much more out of the tune from RPM Outlet, which I had edited a bit... but they were definitely able to work on the driveability. She's smooth as silk now. They netted me a gain of 7 HP and 13 Tq.
Here's my car by itself.
This is the best part. A guy (a nice guy, btw...) with a 2006 Legend Lime GT was having a CAI installed (not sure which brand), bought a Predator, and had his car tuned. Here's a scan comparing his best run with mine (I'm red, he's blue). :action-smiley-035: Don't let anyone tell you a GT with at CAI and exhaust will beat out a supercharged V6.... they're full of it. Here's a picture of us side-by-side.
Here's a video of my last dyno run.... (Make sure to right-click and "Save As..." otherwise your browser may open it as a bunch of garbly-gook)
(If you don't have Quicktime, you can get the awesome "Quicktime Alternative" from here. Personally, I won't install the real Quicktime on my computer...)
Finally, here's the actual scan of the printout I got from Mile High today. (Again, it's a comparison with the other guy's GT)

Awesome! Thanks for putting yourself out there. The numbers are great! For those of us saving our bucks for a charger, your info has been very helpful. Keep us posted on any glitches that may arise over time so we see the good and the bad. Hopefully no bad. Way to go!

nice power curve compared to the GT, it look if you where to race that gt that it would be a drivers race.

I'm sort of confused. With Flapjack beating the GT easily in both torque and HP by a significant margin throughout the run, I don't get where it would become a "drivers" race. The GT sure isn't any lighter or more aerodynamic. So what gets the GT back in the race? Unless Flapjack had the reaction time of a comatose tree sloth, I really don't get it. I'm not picking on your comment, I just wonder if there's some factor I'm missing...
As for you Mr. Flapjack, your reporting is terribly hard on those of us trying to resist the forced induction route for a little while
