I definitely agree meissen the whole point is to eliminate "dead spot" not to have massive hp and tq gains. I do still wanna see the graph but or different reasons

Where is the graph? not seeing it :(

well

2012_1LT/RS · 07-21-2012, 07:55 PM

Y'all just need to relax if Tracey says there will be a graph there will be.... He's probably busy getting everything ready to ship and when he gets a moment he will post the graph.

IneedAZ · 07-21-2012, 09:04 PM

I thought someone said it was posted, that's why I did i didn't see it.

Sorry folks...late nite. Still at the shop....since 8:30 AM. Had another shop that did a procharger install on a trailblazer SS and they ran into some issues so came here so we could fab some parts and tune it for them.

Cant wait to bolt it up..... Nice piece of equipment

Graph looks good. I cant see this "dead spot" everyone is talking about, but I like the results. I'm adding it to the list.

was the car used for the dyno stock before and stock+tb for second run? just curious, I've already ordered, and looking to get my car to the dyno soon after I install everything - trying not to get my hopes up in the dream of hitting 300 at the wheels without fi.

Technically, it could, but unless your dealer sees it, which he probably will not, you will be fine. It it is the cause of the problem, then once inspected probably no. I do not see this mod creating any problems.

yzark99 · 07-22-2012, 09:29 AM

This will not void your warranty. If you are paranoid, or your dealer is a jerk, stick to the unpainted (regular) version of this. There will be no way to tell that it isn't stock without taking it off the car and comparing it to an unmodified one. The chances of that happening are slim to none.

Bone stock, no tune, only CAI both times.

Bolt ons can get you over 300, but there are some looking for 400 and it wont happen w/out FI.

There are over 4,000 of these on different platforms for the past 7-8 plus years and not a single dealer has ever questioned it, but any can be jerks.

The chart you posted looks great, but it doesn't show this bottom end of the range.
Based on a similar chart I saw posted for the LLT Throttle Body, the Torque gains were massive (30+ ft lbs) in this region.

Can you post a chart that shows this low end region as well?

Thanks,

Without a loaded eddy current dyno we can read that low, but the TQ jumps app 20-30 RWTQ in the area of the stock dead spot and that is where everyone states they can burn the tires where they could not before is due to this and the biggerst benefit of this mod. The rest of the power gains are nice, but not earth shatering.

Good advice, but we just had a GM rep visit this past week and we installed a RX catchcan on the new full size truck he had for testing, sent the LFX version with him, and are shipping him one of these for his testing as well so this is a good thing.
