I've done pop charger and z tube, hks cat back and a 7/16 plenum spacer, just wondering where I should be for whp. And is it worth getting Dyno tuned for $550 ?

 

Get some MD ART Pipes , then a tune

 

Hmmm your tune shop seems really expensive. Place near me does it for $150

 

its just a shop i have used the dyno at, on my diesel, but they specialize in z's.. they are called specialtyz here in socal. ive heard other prices like $300 with dyno sheets, any recommendations from socal folks are welcome.

also anyone have an idea what hp its making with just spacer, exhaust and intake?

 

He's talking about a dyno tune. Not just a dyno run to get a spec sheet.

OP - ART/Test pipes first, then a tune. Right now, you're making around 240-250whp, pre tune. Post tune will yield you in the 260-270s. I highly highly recommend Shawn at Church Automotive. Tons of So Cal guys make the trip up to him just for the tune. He knows what he's doing with the Osiris tune. You'll get your money's worth.

 

good to know, i will look them up. what type of increase will be seen with the test pipes and a tune up? i will replace the plugs before hand as well because the car has 90k on the clock, as well should i use standard, hot, or cold plugs?

 

MD's ART Pipes have independent dyno sheets. Expect to gain 8-10hp, 10-15tq. A tune with all the bolt ons will usually yield 15-20hp/tq. You can look all this stuff up by yourself.

 

I have. But getting responses from people with real experience mean more to me. I owned one the biggest powerstroke diesel forums , so I know the drill. I just prefer hearing it from the horses mouth when it comes to my car. Thanks for your help drew.

 

No prob. New(er) members tend to not how to work their way around forums. I know where you're coming from though since I was part of another vb/bb code forums for ~6 years before getting a G/coming here.

I'll leave with one final thing, with all your bolt-ons and a tune, expect to hit high 260-270hp and high 250-260tq. If you go to Shawn, he uses a dynapack, which reads the highest of them all. - Lots of members have hit 300+hp on his dyno, even non-rev ups. So, expect different/lower numbers when you dyno anywhere else.

 

Yeah I know, Hellbent near me does dyno tunes for $150

 

yeah, i ran my truck on a dynapack once, it made about 10% higher. its losing road loss but maintaining driveline loss. i typically run on dynojets, they have proven to be the most generally consistent for me. ive had happy numbers on superflow's , did 791hp/1550 tq and mustang dynos seem to be a bit more brutal. i appreciate your input man, thank you.

 

those are some fun sounding numbers

 

Lol, forget LS1/2 swaps! I'm swapping in a powerstroke!

 

Holy Sh*t. that thing is a monster lol

 

my bad
