My new engine programming

[dukedusterwrx]

Hey whats up I would like to know how much horsepower i can see from hp tuners on a moded internal engine such as mine check out my specs and also new pics of my engine at my site

I'm don't want to guess, but lets just say quite a bit.

I don't think seeing a gain of 25 HP on a stock engine, with bolt-ons is impossible, w/ a built engine I would THINK at LEAST twice that especially if the cam and such throws things off a bit.

It really depends on your current engine configuration and how out of wack your current tune is? It will vary from engine to engine. I think i read somebody gained 12HP on stock engine. So you could expect more then that on a modded engine assuming your tuning will be off more then a stock engine. I dont have any hands on experience with the program but it looks to be a very solid programming tool for our 3.8's. I wish this was available when i had my built v6.

I dunno.. its hard to put a number too.. you have a pretty unique (an cool imho) setup..

but iwth your configureation i think its definatly worth the money.. not jsut for gains but for saftey..

its great software..

[ellik]

Not going to guess at numbers. You should see a very nice gain, though. Did I miss larger injectors in that list somewhere?

[dukedusterwrx]

nope dont have bigger injectors yet couldnt afford them with all the other money spent
