Default Stage 1 'low hanging fruit' mods complete - Dyno results

Got the car back today and I'm very happy so far. Numbers are great for how hot it was but I'm even more impressed at how it drives. The car pulls very hard when you want yet still drives like stock. That’s the great thing about these 'low hanging fruit' mods... huge bang for the buck and doesn't seem to affect reliability.

New mods:
2.55 Upper
Ported TB and Snout
Solid Isolator
RX Catch Can
TR6 Plugs
DSX Tuning

Already had:
Airaid CAI
Cutouts before mufflers


Big thanks to Dave Steck for the tuning (DSX tuning) and Chad Barton (CBI) for the wrenching. Definitely recommend those guys. Hoping to get my hx expansion tank soon.... and new tires!

BTW, I was surprised to learn that having the cutouts open resulted in a gain of 13 rwhp. They did several pulls with them open and closed. I didn’t think it would make any difference but I guess with this combination of mods it does affect things.

Nice numbers. I'm looking to do the same mods on my 12' but need to find a tuner near west Texas
