Well after 7 years, im finally getting this pig on the dyno lol
been street tuning last year with HPtuners and have gotten as far as I can without either getting in an accident or recreating my favorite scenes from GTA lol
Car runs smooth and other than the trans tune at WOT, runs pretty well. I see boost at 2400rpm and can brake tq 10psi on the 2 step. max boost is 14psi, but I have the eBOOST2 set to 12psi.
with the current setup, im hopping to shoot for 600wrhp 😁 thats of course gonna be up to fuel and timing. I know the fuel setup can support that, and the turbo is capable of 700 although backpressure for gt45s get a bit high past 10psi. The point of this dynon session is to finalize the tune and touch up anything I can see while on the street or just can't recreate without being on a racetrack. For reference, the stock ls1 in NA dynoed 301rwhp on a portable dyno back in 2012.
ENGINE: been a long time coming 😁 current datalog tune under boost. timing is now my main focus. some bluecat data used to get the trans to shift a little better still need a litle more work though. eBOOST2 working lol set at 12psi and 14psi heres what the fuel map looked like when i first started back in AUG when i started learning hiw to tune... mind you this was something i paid for at a shop back in 2013... needless to say i had done a lot of work to do on my own lol and now heres the VE map ive been playing with. VE table has come a long way, had some pig rich areas in the map that were rediculous at one point from the previous tune shop that was playing it way too safe. I had to pull over 10% of fuel in areas above 3000rpm and in boost. at times i was seen 9.0afr out of boost, not even in PE lol was rediculous.

I have a 2.73 rear in my car and my tuner wouldn’t run it in third gear because it would be about 180MPH wheel speed, so it was done in second. Still made 535whp with a 4.8L and a VS Racing 7875
