Hey guys, I know it's not a huge thing but I'm impressed I pulled all my aftermarket parts off to get my car ready to sell in a few months. Well I decided to have CTP retune the car just so it would still be fun to drive, stock tune sucks we all know this. Anyways Jeff retuned the car and corrected she made 401 hp 391 tq. Which is funny and pissed me off cuz with a boss intake, roush CAI, BBK x pipe, lethal over the axle pipes and roush ABs I only made 12 more HP. WtF right but I'm proud of my baby for still making 401 with just a K&N drop in, I'm running mobile 1 full syn, and royal purple tranny fluid. Only mods are upgraded clutch line and catch cans. Anyways here's my dynos all done by CTP

What tune did you have before?

I bet that Boss intake was hurting you.

Before CTP ever tuned it it was just a FRPP race tune to run the boss IM

**DirtyD** · 03-20-2014, 03:56 PM

Yeah, I'm betting it was hurting bad, and wasn't setup for the other things. Why didn't you run the Boss IM before tune dyno run past 7k RPM?

Cuz fords tune kept the stock redline for "Safery"

Not too surprising really. The stock airbox and exhaust are incredibly efficient on these cars. Mine made 410 with the canned VMP tune through the stock airbox and with the PypeBombs installed. Same setup I'm running again.

all you really gotta do to make over 420 on a mt82 car is delete the cats and get a tune... 401 with a tune isnt all that, sorry man its normal. tune with off road h and flowmasters made 426 on my old car. gained like 3hp with the jlt.

Nice numbers!

Think I've seen your car around Ctc

I've honestly thought about switching back to the stock air box while still being on the stock tune and all. Also curious what REAL gains the CAI actually makes.

The tube itself? Next to nothing actually. 95% of the power comes from the tune.

In the summertime. THe stock box will out perform the CAI.

I went right back to my old Vette killing ways as soon as the blower was off. Had a yellow C6 want to play literally less than 5 minutes after starting her up for the first time sans blower. Left him in the dust. Car is still fun to drive!
