Fresh off the Dyno with my Bassani headers & TVS!!

[timspony]

...as many know, I installed my 2.3L TVS / 3.0 upper with 4# Lower feed on the CORN this past June!! ...at that time I still had my stock manifolds on and I made 734 rwhp 689 rwtq...

Well, after installing my Bassani mid-length headers a few weeks ago, it was time to hit the Rollers again at Performance Dyno (Pete Johnson, tuner) in Loudon, NH ... and I was very pleased to pick-up an additional 19 rwhp 12 rwtq!!!!! :banana:

754 rwhp / 698 rwtq and 746 rwhp / 701 rwtq
:beer:

Well worth the install!!! ....My exhaust also consist of a Bassani X-pipe & 3" Bassani CB!!

Pete's a great tuner & guy!!!! :rockon:

Great gains with the Bassani Headers!!! What's your fuel system setup, if you don't mind me asking?

Like I told ya yesterday bud, that thing is a monster! Can't wait to see some big MPH out of it next weekend!

 

[Riddick]

Congrats Tim, are you planning on running it next weekend?

 

[f2hatch]

awesome numbers

 

[SVTCruz]

I can't wait to get my Bassani headers! Nice Gains!!!!:rockon:

Did they lower your peak boost at all ?

 

[timspony]

Thanks guys ... boost went from about 22-22.7 psi to 21.7 psi...so it did drop a little

 

[Rich'sTRsvt]

Very nice numbers, would love to get a set of those headers, but I have maxed my fun budget with the clutch I needed. Speaking of which are you still on the stock clutch?

 

[Blackedout]

Impressive...:beer:

Thanks for verifying that Tim. Those are fantastic numbers you got! I'm glad to see the boost drop because that verifies my hope of running a slightly smaller pulley once they are installed without raising the current boost I'm running (only 18psi), but I have no access here to E85, and have no desire to run additives or race gas.

Do you have an SCT tuner, or does Pete just reflash your ECU directly?

 

[ctgreddy]

Jeesh, I'd be kinda dissapointed with only picking up 19whp. I thought it'd pick up way more than that. Guess it just shows how decent stock manifolds really are. if this was on a pump gas car or an eaton car I bet gains of only 5-10whp would have been had. Not worth it imo. But with all that said, 750+ whp out of a stock longblock engine is craaaaazzzyyyyy. I wish I could drive your car just one time Tim! But then again, if i did that i'd prolly end up maxing out my credit card on a tvs LOL.

about a 2% gain...what was the weather and tune difference between dynos? That could easily be attributed to cooler temps or less humidity as it could headers

 

[timspony]

Thanks everyone! .... The DSG currently has a Centerforce DF clutch in it (trust me, it is a good clutch!!!!)

The weather was about 10 deg. cooler then the last time I was at Pete's, but it was very humid yesterday ... rained most of the way home!

HP cost $$$ ... $600 plus a few beers for 20 rwhp....I'll take it! :beer:

 

[RustyRodder]

Tim, post up the new/old dyno graphs... how is the comparison across the board?

 

[03svtcobracoupe]

How was the install ?

 

[05satinGT]

I wonder what more (if any) the gain would have been with let's say Mac Longtubes, and then with ARH 1 7/8" headers.
