How do I get a HP boost? - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I had my Camaro on the dyno months after they were installed and the hp gains were still there with the long tubes. Vararam early on sent me a reply to why SOME of the gains of other CAIs were being "learned". Vararam stated some CAIs out there had leaned out the fuel air mixture that the computer was adjusting it back to where it wanted it to be and the gain was lost.

I would think you could be close to 40 to 50 hp with those mods plus you would drop some weight from the car with the factory exhaust and airbox gone

so i guess i need to dyno when my flash cable comes from UPS.

i have CAI, 1 5/8 longs, high flows, mbrp cat back and my trifecta tune file (no data logs yet obviously... cable in transit)

Apparently this might not be entirely accurate. Sorry if I mislead anyone.

Wow, I'm impressed. Usually by now some yahoo with an SS would have piped in that buying the SS is the cheapest way to upgrade your HP. Guess all those guys have gotten bored with trying to tick off the V6 owners. LOL
