If it's Andrew / CSP, it's a dynojet. I'd think 375-380, too, with a nice fat torque curve. Look forward to seeing how it turns out!

Car get long tube, car get tuned, come pay balance, come get car. No graphs, no vids, no tq output, no excitement or interraction. I had to ask what it put down afterwards. Its done. Well least they did what they said they would do. Not much else to say. Thats the story guys, i ll post up some updates after i put some miles on it.

Ask them to print you off a graph, they should have at least saved that and can print or send it to you. I've never known a shop not to do that...

Yup, still doing long division to calculate the tq from my hp rating. Something was broken, my car put down 70,000ft lbs. I ll just print your graph n call it mine, lol, as long as its driveable again, i dont care. On my way to pick it up now

I'm sorry I don't mean to correct a customer publicly, but you clearly misread everything we wrote to you.

"Andrew’s got a print out of the graph in the car for when you get here."

"I got some videos for you that we’ll put up on the youtube in one of our shop videos."
Here is one of them:

Yes, our RPM reader wasn't getting a strong signal from your car, so the dyno could not calculate torque well - its a problem with the new dynojets. As I stated, I did that manually so you can read your torque. Its not from a different car, its your car, I'm just overriding the rpm signal by calculating it from the wheel speed.

So, we sat in alil traffic on the ride home. Finaly it cleared up n I was able to "beat" on the car alil bit. All i can say is WOW! I never could of imagined that 378rwhp would be this much fun. The car really pulls hard in every gear. Feels great n really woke the V up. The Kooks lt s really add some grunt to the car. Im pleased with the car, mods, and tuning sofar. This heavy 4door made me 2nd guess my entire turbo nova build-like maybe a well built head n cammed 454 lsx woulda been plenty for it. Fml, im in to deep now. But, back to the caddy, once i arrived i was able to speak with both Alex and Andrew. All is well n the email confusion was cleared up almost immediately. Thanx fellas. I would highly recommend these guys. There is a dyno graph, i ll try n get them to upload it. IIRC, tq was 380ish.

Not surprising it feels good, you added over 50 at the tire and I bet that intake makes for a nice FAT curve so it feels even better than the number. That number, using an 18% drivetrain loss puts you at 460hp flywheel. That matches the new ATS-V but with V8 torque and downside either. Nice work.

^^^ what he said^^^
Yea, i luv it. Im gunna do head, cam, n clutch next year i think. Trying to narrow down a small oil leak that makes me crazy. Either rear main seal or oil pan.
Rear main seal can be done i believe when clutch gets done. If its an oil pan gasket, lookn like a build is in order!

Hellz yeah, no wonder it feels so good. That FAST is really fattening things up. Awesome!

You can do the rear main for near zero extra labor and the oil pan for a little extra when you do the clutch.
