Finally got a tune (vid uploaded) Got my car dynoed today. I'll try to post a graph and video once I find out how to post it.
I'm okay with the results. Tell me what you think.
Mods are:
Stock LQ4 block with arp rod bolts with 241's
MS4
SLP LT's & ORY, Magnaflow catback
FAST manifold (not sure if 90 or 78. It came with the car)
SLP below
Aftermarket lid
It made 405rwhp and 387rwt
1st pull

Yeah I thought it was okay.
That's what I was thinking of doing. The tuner said I have a couple leaks around the exhaust and that it's holding off some power because of vacuum. I told him I was going to put a cut-out and he suggested to just make the exhaust piping 3inch all the way out because the cut-out isn't good. What do you think?

all you have to do to find out if its a 78 or 90mm FAST is pull off the TB.. its 4 bolts.. a cutout will give you more power but if you are roll racing a lot say up to 125-130 the car will pull harder with it closed because of better back pressure when its closed

Cut-outs are good for the dyno and strip, and if you want a loud car. I probably gained 5+hp thru the cut-out vs the magnaflow ( I had one on at one time too). My piping is 3" all the way back from the ORY too. Theres lots of little tricks here and there, but your best bet is to start with your intake and TB and figure out what you have and go from there, that may help alot.

Yeah that's on the list as well. I have a ram air kit (don't know the name of it). Its the aluminum plate under the air box that goes in front of the radiator.
Once I pull the TB what do I do. How do I measure or what?
I don't go to the strip much but I would like to get as much out of it as I can. My car is loud enough as it is.
Thanks

Yeah I saw that in the classifieds. Thanks. I'm going to have to check. When I changed my water pump a couple weeks ago I took the TB off and didn't notice it.
