Default Dyno Tunning 1994

I have a 1994 convertible that I was thinking about having Dyno Tuned. I currently have the Cat Back Corso Exhaust and was thinking about putting a SLP under hood cold air induction air package with the triple K&N air filters.

My question is with these 2 small after market add-on do I really get more horsepower and if so how much?

How much more horsepower can you get from reprogramming you chip settings on the dyno?

Thanks
Sam

Ya gotta let me know what numbers you run if you decide to get it dyno'd.

I'm running the same SLP intake set-up with Magna-flows

Where do you live in Il? If you are close to St. Louis Mo, I'll dyno tune your car for free. You pay the dyno time.

I am going to renting some dyno time in a couple of weeks, to retune my car.

Thanks for the offer Mike but I'm near the Wisconsin line a little to far for me. I know someone that will do it cheap.

I have been told from one guy 10 HP another guy says 40 HP and the 3rd guy I asked says 17-20 HP at the wheel gain when fine-tuning. Which is reality?

You may have some gain from those mods 10 rwhp, but I don't think a tune would help any. IMO

If you end up doing a dyno run, I would love to join you and bring my car as well. I have similar mods, and if anything would just like to see a dyno run. I'm in Mundelein really close to six flags.
