Ok, I had made a thread elsewhere about posting results of my car stock then with the roto-fab intake/hsrk/ INTENSE-RACING canned HP file for our cars. I installed the intake and hsrk last week and the thread for that is also here.
Well.. I took the whole thing to the dyno this morning which is a 2 hour drive. we got there at 1030 and had the car strapped and ready by 11.
1. let me give you the details. this is in south Louisiana and the temp at 11 am was 96 degrees with a heat index of 100. the humidity was 50%. No fan on the dyno.
2. DYNOJET 224XLC dyno
3. Last, the dyno itself was only about 2 months old and the owner WARNED me twice his new dyno was greedy. He told me a week before a guy with a tuned vette pulled 430rwhp on a dynojet elsewhere and not changing ANYTHING only pulled 404rwhp on this dyno.
Taking all these factors in while we were prepping the car i decided i would prepare for really low numbers. Knowing what I have seen most of you on this forum dyno stock or with simular mods to mine, I decided to call it at 318rwhp, as i already think I may have the lowest HP G8 on the planet. really, my G8 is not that impressive.. regardless the real purpose was to find out this.. IS INTENSE-RACING'S TUNE PRODUCING REAL WORLD RESULTS. I have confidence in the guys at Intense and have always been happy with there stuff.
I already use HPtuners so I bought the rotofab and the hptuner file from them. basically I pulled my stock file and emailed it to TODD who modified it to the same specs for his own G8 and emailed me it back. No case learn needed, and it cost me 100 bucks. hey thats a damn cheap tune if it works. so, does it work?
The first pull was roto intake,hsrk, and intense tune ALL INSTALLED and just as i recieved it from them, OTHERWISE a BONE stock G8 with EXACTLY 2564 miles on the odometer, ALL PULLS WERE MADE IN 3RD GEAR.
results.. 307rwhp
wow that sucked. we had no KR and when I asked about the A/F we looked at the wide band and the tuner said "I wouldn't *%#k with it" so with my IAT in the 110 range we decided to add back the 3 degrees my car was pulling for heat and made a second pull.
results 311rwhp.
still no KR, well one little .8 blip half a sec long could be fake. so we added 2 more degrees to the tables and made a third pull.
results 313rwhp.
At this point I was finished. I was close to what i expected so for shits and giggles i dropped the bone stock file back to the car and we made a pull with JUST THE ROTO AND HSRK.
results 285rwhp!!
I apologize I dont have the graphs or torque numbers displayed here I have the runs saved on my stick drive but have not got everything on my pc yet to post them.
last my point was made. regardless of how bad my car sucks ass the Intense tune alone resulted in a 22rwhp improvement by itself. with almost perfect A/F ratio. the dyno helped me acheive 6 more rwhp on top of that inside of ten minutes making it a very vaulable tool.
The tuner asked how much I paid for the file and he said "Thats cheap HP, I would have charged you at least 200 for that tune using my system"
SO there u have it.
1. the intense racing tune WORKS.
2. I still dont think that CAI makes enough difference alone for you to "feel" the difference.
3. my car sucks ass.
enjoy I will try to get the dyno sheets posted in the next few days once i figure out how.
