You're definitely down 10-15 hp with the stock air intake.

Shit really? I need to grab one

Lol get an intake and a retune and I bet you’ll see a huge increase in power
Post up the results from it too I’d love to see what an intake gains on a heads/cam car

Now I just need another grand lol

Dyno numbers really do not matter. As long as is tuned right. My car gain about 72whp with an vvt3 cam and about 52wtq on a dynojet. My friend's dyno his at 480ish whp and still can not pass my 421whp l99 camaro. So the dyno numbers are just numbers to brag about. And they were on the same dyno. His is an ls3 and mine the l99 convertible whuch is heavier than his.

Makes me feel a little better.. well see Wednesday and I'll update this post with the numbers it puts up at the track. MPH will tell all because I'm not gonna launch hard and I'm on worn nitto invos, but we shall see. I already might have a deal lined up for a used Roto fab and I want Jeremy formato to tune the car, the tune will be expensive for me is all.

Not sure why everyone is now all about formato? When I was in Florida he didn't have a great rep

Yes, MPH and ET are going to be the deciding factor. Who cares what a dyno says? The operator can manipulate the numbers to make it say whatever the hell they want it to say. A dyno is a tool to help tune the car, that's all. Take it to the track, if you don't hit 113-116 mph then you can be pissed.

Who would you guys recommend to tune it if formato is no good? I haven't heard anything bad except he has a hard time tuning auto trans. I know he gets a lot of hype now because of the whole cleetus McFarland/leroy thing but I've heard he's a reputable tuner since before all that.

[jc615]

That may be why he got popular. I've already rebuilt one trans due to a bad tune and only trust a couple people to tune mine. I'be been out of Florida for 3 years so not exactly sure who all is around now

If I trap 113 heads cam when I trapped 111 exhaust no tune I'll leave the car on the side of the road, uber home and forget about it lol I'm hoping 116-118 on a bad tune and 120+ with the cold air and a good tune.

[CamarocrayZ]

i have that same cam and heads from gpi. i made 497/450. with 2" headers, ported tb and 3.91s

I went 120 with bolt ons and 1.85 rockers on E85. i would hope a heads cam package would out trap it. Best of luck op I for sure would be getting a tune elsewhere.

Lol.....you should ask some of the members that have close or exactly your setup and see what they run. It takes the guessing out of the equation.....it will drive you nuts
