Great news! I just found out I will be getting a huge discount on my tune because of the mix-up on scheduling it sooooooooooooooooooooo, maybe some ZL1 springs are in my future! Anyone know anyone with some to sell?

Finally!!!! Ruby has had he ARH long tubes, high flow cats, specially designed H-pipe, BMR front sway bars & end links, & HP dyno tune installed at DBR High Performance in Spring Hill, TN! She gained 11 HP in peak performance. More pics & video to come but to start off...................Here are the before & after dynos:

Nice. enjoy

You did a really nice job on the build Ruby. The headers sound great, a lot deeper then before.

You should stop following that P/U for 2 days lol!!! Looks great Ruby. Really want to get that same exhaust setup soon. Have to wait a little though. I put the level 2 Bmr suspension on last month. Also went with trailing arm and toe rods. A little suspension work goes a long way with the V6.

That would be MY pick-up truck, with hubby driving to haul my parts! LOL

The last pic is the DBR guys taking her out for a road data log. It just looks like she is in the grass due to the way the exit out of the shop goes. LOL
The oddity in the 90-100 MPH range was not as bad on the road but I have not seen that graph yet. It seems that it is picking up exhaust pops & grumble and interpreting it is knock & pulling timing. May require some re-tuning at some point once we talk to some other tuners that have been dealing with the same issue.

I am very pleased with how everything turned out. Just need to put it all to the test now! Who wants to line up with me?

I got this from my tuner yesterday in response to questions regarding the way Ruby was pulling timing on the dyno between 90 & 100 MPH:

The timing was only doing that on the dyno, didn’t do it on the street. We did a 0-100mph pull and everything looked perfect!! I have seen cars do some different things on the dyno that they don’t do on the street, usually the torque converter, but in your case I think it was load based. I’ll get all your stuff together this week.

I'm interested to see the numbers from the street.
