Dyno Guess?!?!?!

[nwilson44]

Okay guys so the last thing I am doing to my car before I sell it (assuming someone buys it) is a race tune from 510 Race engineering here in Houston, Texas. I thought It would be interesting to see what they can muster up out of the car, and I wanted to see what you guys think It'll put down.

So far the things I have that are not stock are as follows....

K&N Cold Air kit
Accel 50,000V Coils
MSD Super Conductor Wires (8.5mm)
E3 Diamond Fire plugs
EGR Delete
Pacesetter Ceramic coated Headers
Pacesetter Ceramic Coated 3' Y-pipe
Magnaflow 50-state Cat
185 Degree thermostat
25% Water 25% Royal Purple "Purple Ice" 50% GM Dexcool
Royal Purple 10w-30 Oil and Filter
Bored out throttle body


Car is a 2001 3.8L V6 with 3.42's and 4L60E. Thats all I remember, Some suspension mods but shouldn't affect power. What do you guys think she'll put down before and after the tune!?!?

A race tune? Putting more money into the car while your trying to sell it?:twak:
Having said that, put me down for 187hp.

If a race tune implies using race gas I wouldn't do that to a car you're looking to sell.

I would go with 195 - but just a guess. Not a lot to be had out of the na motor on tuning till you've reworked the heads for $$.

Yeah I think that'll complete it.

No not race gas. 93 octane pump gas. Its just a catchy name.

Would anyone be surprised if we were somehow able to break 200RWHP?

With a 100 shot of Nitrous.

With a performance tune and open longtube headers, I dyno'd 195/225 thru a T5 with 3.23's. Yours will likely be below that.

Re: Dyno Guess?!?!?!

This Re-manufactured engine only has about 8K on it too. So I am not sure if thats helping or hurting at this point.

This past spring with the ARH angle-milled heads from Z26v6 and an Intense Stage 3 N/A cam, I dyno'd 244/254. I didn't have time to tune it before the open dyno day, so it still had the same tune as before, and this time it also had the true dual exhaust on it instead of just open headers.
