Well...had a bunch of work hit post dyno run.

Not too happy with the results, but very happy I did the run before sinking money into the cams yet.

Here is my run(red), a stock GTS (green), and the same stock GTS with the same x-pipe mine has (magenta). The other car has had no tuning except all new sensors, vacuum lines, etc., and stock cams retimed to stock specs. My car should be where the magenta run is?!?



Looking at the sniff my car is running a bit lean. It also looks like my timing is not advancing (the begining being low and the climb in torque as the two stage intake changes lagging the other car in the torque curve at around 3700-4000rpm.

I did this run both because I felt like the car was down on power, and wanted to make sure everything was working correctly before throwing cam money at it. I would hate to have spent the money on cams to find I wasn't even getting stock power and then trying to chase down the problems.

My peak hp was 278, it should be near the magenta run at 330. That's as much increase as I was expecting from the cams. No wonder I've been a little slower at the autocross. Looks like I will be spending the cam money on a major tune up... knock sensors, hall sensor, either having my injectors cleaned and flowed or new ones, and a new MAF, plugs wires, etc. Then I'll do another dyno run and see where it's at.

I guess the good thing is I should be able to get that 50hp for a lot less money than cams, valve springs, fuel injectors, and tuned chips.
