I've been itching for some more power lately, so a few weeks back I finally decided to go with a Utec.

I've dynoed on 4 separate occassions now. Bone stock, I did 233whp/230wtq on a dynojet in May '05. In August '05, I dynoed on the same dyno with only my Crawford high-flow cats and did 224whp/223wtq. In August '06, I dynoed on a different dynojet at 241whp/236wtq with the Crawford plenum, FI resonated tp, and HKS exhaust.

Audiblemayhem (Jeremy) just opened up Performance Factory here in Orlando, FL back in December. As soon as I found out he was opening a shop, I knew I would be throwing a lot of money his way. Knowing he is a perfectionist, I knew he was the only person I would want tuning my Utec. The cheapest price anywhere also helps

I dropped off my car at 9am and let him do his work. I returned at 4pm to pick up my car...and it had a whole new powerband How about 15whp gained throughout the entire RPM band! He also made my A/F ratio perfect...I was running sooo rich. Last, but not least, he raised my redline to 7100 rpms.

Mods: Z-tube with K&N filter, Crawford plenum, Crawford high-flow cats, HKS exhaust, and a Utec to bring it all together.

Before/after hp


Before/after tq (ps...I can't stand how I've never been able to dyno and have a perfect dyno read out all the way to redline The numbers were 236/250wtq)


Before/after AF ratio

 

What Is A Utec?

 

great numbers ryan..........jeremy does a great job......utec is a great investment

 

hmmm,,,,
thats crazy numbers,,,
i wondering if pushing timing to limits and other things is messing with longetivity of the enigine....

 

Okay more seriously considering a UTEC now...but headers first...

 

So you LOSt 9rwhp/7rwhp with the crawford cats?

No way in hell...

 

Nice gain, pretty consistent with mine after the UTEC.

 

you have to consider it was probably hotter the second time he dyno'd in august

and it is possible that some mods take away power without a tune

 

Well, when I dynoed stock, I believe the temperatures were in the 60s. I dynoed with the high-flow cats in 90+ degree FL summer heat. So that had a lot to do with it.

 

yeh that's what i figured

 

And just for a good fact...I had my Crawford high-flow cats removed in place of the Fast Intentions resonated test pipes back in August. I did a before/after dyno on the same dyno within 6 hours of eachother. I gained a whole 1whp throughtout the RPM band. That just goes to show how well the Crawford high-flow cats flow. I'm once again a happy owner of the Crawford high-flow cats since the day my Utec was installed. The rasp, smell of gas, and extremely minimal hp gains were not worth the $400 test pipes!

 

That has a whole lot to do with it ^^^ 30 degrees + temp change? Better believe it son lol

 

Very nice!

I guess you're comming to ZDayz this year?

Just curious....what is the intercooler in your bumper actually doing???

 

lol.. that's what I was thinking.. It's a BIG radiator!

 

It's my hopes and dream .... or what's to come within the next month.
