Btw, I'm doing the instructions so I'll put in as much detail as I can. Will need to see the post that Andy gave on the IAT2 info...

I would imagine there is a lamda for calculating the difference...

I do have details on using the pinning kit on my build thread...

IMO add a bottle of water wetter in as well. Have used it several times in the past with good results

Also run the least coolant you can get away with. More (distilled) water the cooler it will be.

runnin strong!! put down 534 rwhp/525 rwtq. Only made 7 lbs on the dyno since it isnt load bearing. We only had 16 degrees in it as well. It was hitting 9-9.5 lbs on the street Thursday night when we were tuning it.

535whp??? That's kinda low isn't it? I mean most basic bolt ons and a good cam make around 490whp.

hammdo · 03-28-2015, 09:49 AM

The SC makes between 100 to 150 RWHP. Its the overall improvements from base as some dynos read lower than others. I had 540 before it was dialed in. What was the base before the sc?

Car was never dynoed before sc. But thd 534 was only 7 lbs of boost. It made 9.5 lbs of boost on the street. Itlost 2-2.5 lbs b/c there was no load on the engine. Each lb ob boost is about 15-20 rwhp. So add 30-40 hp to 534 and im happy with it. That dyno session i also had my hi flow cats on, once those are off, itll be higher as well.

I won't have my car on a dyno. We just do street tunes. I'm only running a 2.8 pulley.

Did anyone's kit come with spark plugs? I was just reading threw the instructions sent to me and it said use supplied spark plugs.
