to ADM Performance.
  • First phase with ADM included a Dyno tune and Axle Back MagnaFlow exhaust - results are the blue line... 333HP and 350TQ. She also started doing 8.5-8.7 second 1/8 miles.
  • Second phase with ADM included Downpipe's and replacing the resonator with the MagnaFlow X-Pipe - results are the red line... 348HP and 366TQ. Boom! Can't wait to get some new time slips!
  • Before ADM? My L99 was doing about 306HP to the rear wheel, with 299TQ. So, perhaps needless to say but I'll say it anyway, I could not be happier with the results. She'll break loose at will - in first, second and third.
Your total cost?

Mine seems to have plateued at 'kinda fast'

you can see the adjustment made to the Air/Fuel ratio. That should be in a straight line between 12.5 and 13.5 (ideally 13.0 but not much difference).

Mine did the same thing... burning lean at lower RPM's and then rich at higher. My tuner was very conserned, but was confident in getting the most outta my car. First pull 314hp and 310TQ 6th pull (woping 455 max RWHP and 450RWTQ) he and i were both amazed!!!!! I have ARH with Corsa, CAI and a badass tune!!! These #'s are Cam #'s...... except for the fact that i have no cam!!!!!

Hell yeah... ill upload dyno sheets soon

Either the dyno is off or this is a new record for a headers only L99 (or even LS3)!

Man, when I saw the numbers from page 1, I thought it has to be the dyno. Here is my V6 auto dyno with Stainless Works Headers and exhaust. Your L99 should have a lot more than 47HP from my V6. Yeah, I know you can not compare dyno sheets from different dynos but yours are too low.

The L-99 is not capable of those numbers without Forced induction or some other form of engine/induction change.....A bad ass tune cannot give these numbers. Sorry!

This thread is very old. PQ's and some others had serious power issues. Their Camaro's were running just as slow or slower than V6 Camaro's. This is how the "Fuse Pull Mod" came about. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38964

It's a low octane tune issue. For whatever reason some of the L99's were delivered to customers stuck in low octane tune mode, and for whatever reason, they stayed in low octane mode even after using high octane fuel. The fuse pull mod corrects this issue.

314 rwhp to 455 rwhp is one "bad ass tune."

It must have been 355 rwhp, 350 lb ft and they weren't wearing their glasses and it looked like 455 rwhp.

Agreed. Otherwise I call BS. We've squeezed every inch of power out if my L99, to ADM's point without any forced induction or internal engine mods, and didn't crack 400rwhp.

Yup. That's right. No way 455 with only those mods.

Now you guys are looking at it all wrong..... we did 7 pulls with the first one being around 316RWHP and close to the same with TQ. I think it was less but i dont have the sheets in front of me. (im currently in Texas on vacation). Out of 7 pulls the max was 455rwhp and 450rwtq, but my average was 410rwhp and 415rwtq. I understand that some of you find this hard to believe but if you had read my original post you could see that the car was F@cked up for lack of a better word when we started. The air/fuel mixture was all jacked up. Every time we made adjustments and did another pull we kept pulling more. We moved the redline from 6200 to 7000 (i dont suggest doing this unless you know what your doing) is also how we was able to pull 455 and 450 max. We could have made more if i wanted to up it to 8000, but again im not trying to tear the shit outta the car. Im confident we could have pulled 475 and 460 if we would have done this as both the HP and TQ continued to climb. Everything was done using EFI live and mustang dyno. It doesnt matter what dyno u use and every dyno will be different....... what you have to pay attention to is how much gain you made with the adjustments. (hope this makes sense to some of you)
I'll upload the sheets when i get back this week.

All work done on my vehicle was done by guys that build and tune engines for Nascar, Bush ect..... and they are confident that with some more mods, they can easily pull more than forced induction for a fraction of the cost
