Happy dyno day to me

Hey guys, I just came back from my baseline dyno run yesterday and I have such good news I have to share.

All stock, 91 octane gas, Dirty air filter, and ORIGINAL stock (8 year old) spark plug wires and shitty factory plugs I pulled 304.3HP and 324.3ft/lbs torque. (On a Dynojet)

Maybe not the highest ever, but my baby is no dog!

Not bad for stock man! What year and what trans?

I had a dyno day this weekend too! Got it tuned.

Major mods are Lid, Long Tubes with ORY, electronic cuout and GMMG clone chambered mufflers.

Bottom is untuned, top is cutout closed and middle is final with it open.

Its an 02 WS6 Trans Am with an automatic trans....I can't wait to see what she pulls with mods.
I think I'd have picked up a decent gain just from having good plugs and wires, those stock platinum plugs are surely toast by now and the guy running the dyno said I NEED new wires. lol

Nice, my 6 speed 2000 stock pulled 317whp(dynojet), sounds like the engine is as stout as mine but that a4 stole a little more

I hear ya. Change them when you do long tubes. Thats pretty much the best time to do it and its a lot easier to change them after the LTs too.

I went with NGK TR-55 plugs and MSD wires. You can find them as a combo deal from a few different places.

We must have been thinking alike on that one. I already picked up some 8.5mm MSD wires and those same plugs. The factory gaps measured out at about 0.058 if I remember right, which I was told is a little much.
But I've got the gaps set at roughly 0.054 - 0.056 now. My gap tool doesn't inspire 100% confidence, but they're in the range.

I checked the gap on them but left them. Havnt had any issues with them.
