I’m hoping the tune will make me happy aswell. Hp and tq gains are secondary for what I’m looking for from the turn. Primary is the rev limiter in park, changed shift points, speed govern removal, etc.

If you love the sound of a muffler delete but hate the sound of drone Solo Performance has a kit for you. Drone free!

I thought the LLT was used in 2012...guess I was no help.

This was wife’s car and she took it to strip one time, her first time ever. I don’t remember times as that was long ago. It did have a noticeable difference in acceleration after the parts were added and I added a Cai to it as well. The times I did drive it I enjoyed it as it had enough power. Even compared to my cammed SS it was a fun car

Hmm I’m not sure if I “love” the sound of the delete because the only thing I have to compare it to is stock mufflers. Videos on YouTube can’t really pickup that in person sound I need. Any recommendations on exhaust systems fairly cheap?

It's about 11 ponies different Lol.
Seriously though careful running that throttle controller on SP8 all the time I keep mine on 6 after going into limp mode and Vitesse recommending I only run it on 8 or 9 during spirited driving sessions. Onstar ended up resetting my trouble codes taking it out of limp mode and I unplugged and plugged it back in then turned the controller down. Never had a problem on 6 and turning it up when I feel the need.
BTW I also have a Jacfab intake manifold spacer and if I remember right he said it would cost me a couple HP but it seemed to make up for it in the much needed torque on the LFX. I put about every bolt on you could get on the car short of high flow cats including the SLP muffler delete with 4" tips. Always thought I'd supercharge it and those cats aren't a good idea with one if I understand that right. Bought a heavily modded SS instead. Black car is the SS and the red and black is my 2012.
GL on the dyno and please post results when you get them.

My guess for you
261HP
232TQ

Oh yeah for what its worth I recommend you get a catch can and separator for that DI engine. Maybe clean your valves if they are dirty could for sure pick up some power there.

How would I know if I’m in limp mode? If you’re referring to “Reduced Engine Power” Message on the dash then no I’ve never got that. And isn’t My torque supposed to be higher than my hp?

With a flat torque curve like these V6s have, you’ll have a higher peak HP number than torque. In large displacement torquey V8s and V6s you’ll see torque peak very early in the RPM band and then taper off. When that happens you’ll see higher peak torque than HP. It’s just math on how HP is calculated.

Happy modding, I’m glad you are enjoying the car!

Thank you for these responses! And thank you I’m loving my car!!! Went from a 2008 Mazda 3 with the rear fenders zip tied to the back bumper and missing right mirror to the picture in my post

Yeah think it might have been the reduced engine power and some other lights it's been a couple years honestly don't remember what came up but you would defiantly know if it goes into "limp mode". Mine luckily did it in the driveway. Like I said Vitesse is who recommended I keep it at 6 or below with regular driving. If you search on here think there was plenty of discussion about it and some people doing away with them. I like mine and have been totally happy with it!
