You list HPtuners as a mod, did you tune it yourself? What type of dyno?

could be the 1 7/8 idk if there is that much difference? did you have a baseline?

first ever pull on this car i had the corsa already on there un tuned it made 324hp 320 ft lbs... im pretty happy with 33hp and a 30ft lb pick up almost all the way across the rpm range with a very flat air fuel makes me happy!

I just noticed that you have an SS too! NICE!!! How do you like the drivability of it? Do you use it for drag strip or auto-x?

i drag the car it hasnt ran in over 3 years long story! the car is like a go cart to drive its just wrong wheel drive and not a V8 lol last time a drove it was leaving the drags on a crap tune it blew up on the highway.... best time was 13.60@ 102.5 mph street tires and launching at about 1500 rpms that was about $1400.00 in mods....

I believe the gear in which they use for the dyno pull may have an effect on the numbers. I recall reading and being told by some dyno operators that a gear that provides a 1:1 ratio is preferred for the dyno pull, but then I know shops that make pulls in 3rd and 6th.

If the intent of the dyno tune is to optimize the combination, then any gear is okay as long as it's consistent. If the mission is to get the best number with which to brag, then there's probably an ideal gear to use. I think 4th is the one to use. Thanks for your input. I think if/when I get to a dyno, I'll request 4th gear be used for the pulls.
