Correct way to tune!

**TedsB4Csled** · 05-05-2008, 07:24 PM

Had Nick Williams dyno tune my 02' Camaro B4C: 315rwhp & 325+rwtq!

I was so excited I forgot dyno sheet there, duh! Ma told me the car is too fast I have to bring it back and have it de-tuned

. The shift points at WOT are insane!

Check out my youtube vids. Thanks WPI crew! Beware of Otis! He guards that shop, looks like Cujo on steroids!

Is that stock or do you have some mods??

**TedsB4Csled** · 05-11-2008, 04:30 PM

SLp air box, SLP MAF & bellows, flowmaster exhaust, cheap headers, stock y-pipe, gutted cats....actual dyno was 314.9rwhp and 332rwtq, smooth curve. Not bad! It rips 2nd with 373s and hits 3rd really hard....AWESOME!

Pretty good numbers for not many mods, congratulations!

Getting rid of the flowmasters and going with something like a TSP rumbler will give you 15-20 whp more.

Your kidding? Can you show me dyno proof and link to TSP exhaust? Would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Would cut-outs do the same? I like the rumble, but I was thinking of electric cut out?

I do not have dyno-proof, but Texas Speed posted up in a thread that they have seen their exhaust on a stock LS1 F-bod produce dyno gains of up to 15whp. It is a known fact that Slowmasters COST 10whp as opposed to the stock catback.

Here is the link to the TSP rumbler.

That includes the y-pipe? HMmmmm.....me likey.

**02nbmvert** · 05-19-2008, 10:02 PM

unless I'm mistaken that price does not include a y pipe.. tsp has a true dual system for like 450'ish w/ an h or x pipe though... or you can find a pacesetter ory for like 130 i'm pretty sure

**TedsB4Csled** · 05-20-2008, 12:17 AM

Slowmaster is off! Saving for new exhaust mods, although straight pipe is workin'!

wow... I'm seriously sick of hearing about flowmaster's being a worse catback than stock. Not trying to start another one of those threads, but theres plenty of them out there, and I can assure you, you're wrong.

They flow about the same as stock.
Known fact.

Original poster...did they tune for that POS MAF?

**fwellingtonfiii** · 05-20-2008, 07:27 PM

The fact that is, even if they flow just a little bit better than stock, tells you you're obviously not losing horsepower. I'm not saying they're the best for the money (shit mine was free), but to say you LOSE horsepower with them is ridiculous...
that's the end of my thread hijack

Free would make it worth it.

But paying for next to no gains??? No thanks. Never seen them drop power...but they certainly are on the low end of the catbacks for gains over stock.

My Flowmaster was actually a 'knockoff', but it still made a huge diff compared to stock. Stock is so restrictive. I agree, you're not actually loosing 10 hp, but you are not gaining as much as you could. I loved the sound and power I got from it. BUT - I just enjoy the extra hp MORE that I get without it!
