maybe so but I like the look and the sound of the twin pipes and last dyno run in woodinville was showing 150HP and 148 torque
pretty go for a stock engine
Very happy with Nels' tuning work. Kong runs well - BUT - I do want some more!
Close comparisons are sorta useless as Dynos vary a fair amount one to another. @albertaduke and I were tuned the same day, back to back and were within 4 hp of each other.
Nels credited that my CES seemed to work better than his Jardines, but his Ram Air likely breathed a little better than my trip K&Ns.
Patrick, you were 154 HP, not 150!
And 158.7 TQ, not 148!
I have your dyno sheet.
Thanks 1olbull, that is exactly what I. meant., Not "look at me", just it is what it is and I'm happy with it.
Imfastoo, I don't mind taking my time and doing it the hard way. I wanted to keep the stock look, hopefully get 140- 150 hp and be different. What I'm attempting, to my knowledge hasn't been done yet.
Warp, check out Coneeng.com for exhaust components. Never used them but they had a good demonstration at Barber a couple years ago.
I never did like the unbalanced look of stock pipes, just looks wrong from behind IMHO.
I still use the jardine crossover pipe to feed left side 3 pipes.
Not as efficient as 3-1, I know but I like to be individual not blindly follow a certain crowd.
Good for you Wannbe make it YOUR own.
That knee at 5350 rpm is killing your top end.
I had it as well, even after installing good headers and having a custom dyno tune in a PCIII. It is a software knee.
It disappeared after a good tuner tuned the ECU itself and threw the PC3 out. That tune instantly gave me a 50+ hp increase at 6300 rpm over the PC3 tune, without any new parts.
So you might have a considerable herd of easy ponies, still waiting to be awakened in the top end.
