Stock car not much there with-out mods,intake, exhaust.
Stock w/ ziptie mod/K&N car adjusts itself, But when a say a
Halltech stinger which moves a ton of air with low restriction filter, better bridge,coupler, compared
the stock set-up
Besides a tune here, is about $150.00 thats with as many dyno pulls as
needed. My tuner has alot invested, New shop,Dyno-jet, he is state of the art. What would you have that he doesn't?

We used Ron and his expertise in 1999. He can only have gotten better, but our 1998 Indy Pace Car dyno'd at 415 hp, with Cold Air, Corsa Pace Car, X-pipe.

Ron did a great job for us!

Are you possibly leaving out some mods? LS1 can't crank that much HP with those mods.

Tops 390 crank, 335 RWHP, and I mean that would be stretching it.

Maybe he meant GROSS horsepower instead of SAE NET horsepower. Probably not though. All the dyno machines are at the rear wheel horsepower. May just be a typographical error. The 3 key is next to the 4 key. So maybe he meant 315 hp. Which is about right with those mods

Yup, those numbers are awefully high....

I did a few pulls on a dynojet in May 2004 with a CAI and Borla XR1 race pipes on my 99 Coupe and we got 296hp/301tq.

We did a dynotune on my setup with another tuner in North Carolina after I installed an LS6 intake, Shaner TBody, LGM 1 3/4 fl headers and SLP 3 inch cats running to a custom 3 inch Xpipe and Borla Stingers... With the tune (Leaning towards road race mapping) we got 335hp/353tq. Car made a tone of torque down low (above idle over 300#ft.) and was very drivable.

With my new heads/cam motor I hope to get about 400 at the wheels... LS1 Edit will optomize the bolt ons so you're running better fuelmapping and MASS mappig to insure that you're not to rich or lean. If nothing else, the money spent on an LS1 edit session is worth making the parts work at their optimal range!

Mike

Ron is a great tuner!! He has dyno tuned many cars for us and they have always been great HP and very driveable. We have never had a no gain even on some of the "Best" tunes avail.

He is on here giving a good deal and guaranteed performance and you guys flame him? I don't get it.

If you choose not to use him for a tune it's your loss.

Ron in the next couple weeks I will see you with a 99 402, a 00 382, and two Bolt-on C6's. I'll call you with a heads up.

Thanks
Brian

I think everyone is referring to the over 400 claim and not Ron. At 355, I believe Ron. I dyno at 338 with 4.10s in the rear. All I have on the car is LG LTs and a VaraRam, and the VaraRam don't mean chit on the dyno and the 4.10s bring the reading down.
