Too Slow, Time for a build (GEN V/N*/L32 Lim build)

[Wotgtp]

Call me nosey, but where in SW is it? Total Induction? I live in SW, so I'm just curious.

Forced induction motorsports... He has great rates on dyno time and Im not trying to get rich off tuning, so combined its a killer deal.

Ahhh so he's the turbo bob I heard about from my DSM buddies. Seems like a nice set-up, come springtime when I get everything I have sitting in the garage put on the car I might have to swing by.

im down to make a trip..idk how the car is going to run getting there though with the LQ4

It should be fine, just more air flow, right? And you said plog, are you using 2?

 

[AmericanSoldier]

front plog to 3" dp to 2.5 magnaflow catback...stock rear manifold/crossover

You could just buy a tuner for $250-300 and learn to tune it yourself. Much better route then having to drive to someone who lives far away. Plus what if you need a re-tune or you are having problems with the current tune after the dyno tune?

20 Crank and 20 WHP are two very different things.

 

[SnowFlake]

Having a car on the dyno allows you to see how changes effect your power to the tee. And you just aren't going to find dyno time cheaper than this place.

You should really see a significant difference if you add pacesetters to this build, I believe.

 

[AmericanSoldier]

Get another plog at least, man!

the rear manifold isnt a restriction..my exhaust in general isnt restrictive

 

[Tuner-Extraordinaire]

Headers would be better here. Flat out.

 

[Hippo Machine]

Yea, that just kind of came out of my mouth. I edited.

Removed my post for ya.

Going slow and sounding poopy is fun.

i disagree... doubt gains would be substantial, i have plenty of flow mods. id like to see some real world testing to show headers over plog/d/p. not worth the cost/minimal power gains
the areas of restriction in the exhaust has been taken care of

 

[Hippo Machine]

i have plenty of intake mods.

Fixed

I think it is fine for now. The next build you do though, I would cam and put on headers. Low 13's (with tune).

 

[AmericanSoldier]

im not going to have a pi$$ing match with ya guy..until you show me numbers its just an opinion

 

[AmericanSoldier]

cam eventually

You sound like a guy off the regal site who doesn't believe in headers either, yet *****es that their 3.5 setup knocks on a plog and is still slow.

Good luck! :th_laugh-pointup:

i run 13.8 on a 2.1 60ft..that is right on par for my mods..i have 0 KR and i have a box tune, with a custom tune it would be that much faster


some cars knock when they shouldnt and some dont when they should
