    Dyno to start?

    Hey,

    I have an opportunity to throw my 2002 TA on a Dyno machine for tuning for $100. CHEAP

    Question: Should I mess with it before I do some more mods or can it really help me where I am.

    Mods: SLP intake, Lid, 3" exhaust.

    Thanks

    I will probably wait to invest into a cam, so it may be several months.

    Also, I have heard a bunch of people talking about not messing with low stall converters (3400 or under).

    What is your thought.

    Thanks for your input.

    How much are the paceseters going for? Plus install?

    i dont have an auto so i dont know much about stall's ...pacesetters as i said are 379+129 for the catless y pipe....the shop around here gets 300 for an install but u should be able to do them yourself if your even somwhat mechanicly inclined ....if i were to take a guess id say your in the 310-320 rwhp range now with a tune and with pacesetter long tubes 340 rwhp range with a tune then a cam would get ya around 400 when u get there

    Thanks brother for all your advice.

    I think I am going to hit up that dyno and tune to see what I can get out of it where it is. I will definitely be looking into the Y and long tubes in the near future. Man this is like crack for the big boys!

    I'll let ya know how things go...

    Thanks again
