Re: Kooks-more dyno results 27rwhp 29rwtq gain!!! (LittleBoyBlu99)
Well guys I went over to dynolab, picked up the last three runs and AF graphs. My concern was that I was too lean for my driving style.
I wanted a second opinion, so I meet Woosch over at Lamar Walden Automotive and he introduced me to Rob.
On the AF graphs from Dynolab they use the term *UEGO. Rob had never seen that term, so he looked on his dyno computer and could not find that setting on his software.
So he said that we could find out what my car was doing by putting her on the dyno right then and there. They moved a car out that they where working on to get mine on the dyno. They had her strapped down in a few mins. The used the sniffer in the exhaust.
Rob ran her while Chris and I watched from the other room so we could watch the AF in real time. Once he got her into 4th, I never saw the AF go above 13. A few more runs and she was spot on:
So Allan Futral tuning was dead on my friends! He and I communicated thru PMs over on the other forum. He was very helpful and answered all the questions he could from the info that he had at the time.
Thanks Allan! :cheers:
I also want to thank my good friend Z06Les for bringing this to my attention. Like he said its always good to be on the safe side when you got alot on the line. I agree 100%. :cheers:

Just curious, of the 27 HP you picked up, how much was the result of the final tune? I don't have a tuner anywhere near me so I may have to wait some time before I could do that or learn myself. Trying to gage the worth of headers in a situation like mine.

Re: Kooks-more dyno results 27rwhp 29rwtq gain!!! (vettenuts)
My initial dyno was 384/372 at dynolab and the final #s where 384/382. I was running pretty rich and getting alot of black specs on the back of the car. So I picked up about 10rwtq from the tune and no more crap on the back of the car. Throttle response seems imporved as well. I'm very happy with the tune.
A few friends of mine with LG LTs seem to be running very rich "as in gas about pouring out of the exhaust" on the dyno without tuning.
