I just got home from having the car Dyno tuned at East Coast Supercharging.
First and fore most if you are using the stock Edlebrock tune that comes with the kit and you have any mods to your car DO NOT drive the car hard or under boost untill you get it tuned. The stock Edlebrock tune is very very lean with headers and CAI.
Okay so now to the good stuff my best pull on the Dyno was 588 RWHP. Now I know that sounds awesome and to good to be true and well it almost is, let me explain.
Even though we got to 588 RWHP the car ran out of fuel pressure and it leaned rite out, so with out addressing the fuel system that horse power means nothing in the real world driving. So while I was there I decided to have them install a Kenny Bell BAP. I have to be honest here and say that I have very mixed feelings about the BAP. I have heard a lot of pros and cons about these units. So I need to do some more research on this.
Because of everything I have heard about the BAP I had them set the voltage very low on the unit. I know that it ment giving up some horse power but I would rather be safe then sorry since the results were more then I could have hoped for.
I most also say that I am learning about all of this stuff as I go. According to the tuner the torque curve was great. I am not really sure how it all translates to the car but I will take his word for it.
The one thing I found the most interesting was the boost curve. The car runs about 6 PSI of boost untill about 5000 RRM and then it goes all the way to 9.5 PSI of boost at 6500 RPM.
Now the sadest part is that just as I was ready to leave it started to rain, so I couldnt even play with car on the road to really see what it feels like!!
