Default Getting dynoed again today.......TPIS headers installed

UPDATE: The graph is now posted. Scroll down........

Well, I've had my TPIS headers on for a few hundred miles now. I'm getting my car dynoed again this afternoon.

My previous dyno was a month ago with Donaldson intake and Corsa touring exhaust (330 RWHP). Since then I've added TPIS long tube headers and that's it. I'll post the results later this evening.......I'm hoping for 337-340 RWHP.

I'm interested in the dyno # as well. I have the exact same setup as you, except Corsa Pace instead of Touring. I hope that it'll give you some where between 10RWHP and 15RWHP more. :D

Hopefully I'll be able to dyno it tomorrow @ MTI.

No I don't have any pics. Sorry. I could run out in the garage and take a pic, but I can't get any pics underneath the car, which is probably what you're looking for.

Remember to post the dyno graph, rather than just #'s.

Thanks

I know someone that only picked up 6 hp from the TPIS, but I have heard reports of much larger gains!

If the shop uses a dynojet, bring a floppy and they can save the output for you.

Do you need any special program to read these output files? And what format these files will be saved under?


Thanks

I'm interested in your results as well. I haven't been able to show a gain on the dyno but think it may have been because of other factors. Good luck.

Actually, I think I'll just take a picture of the dyno graph with my digital camera and post that. I'm leaving in about 20 minutes to go to the dyno......

That is one strong car if you are running at 330 rwhp with only those mods. I was at 318 rwhp with xpipe/vortex/triflos/GMS maf and 334rwhp after the TPIS install..It wil be interesting to see what u pick up..

With Corsa Indy, Donaldson Blackwing and MAF Screen removed, my car dynoed at 327RWHP. It pinged at around 5800RPM, otherwise it would have dynoed around 330-335RWHP range.

I have replaced the stock plugs with NGK TR55 and also added the TPIS LT. Will see what I'll get on the next dyno :D

My guess is 7 - 10 RWHP.

The long tubes make more hp on a heads/cam setup.

I'll be dynoing again today as well.

Get off the web and get on over here! :D
