Thumbs up ...Just got my STS tune numbers : )

So I just got my car done and tuned. I'm lovin' it. Check out the Dyno Sheets I've attached. The first sheet is the actual tune..."safe" as I requested...I can't afford to blow a motor. lol. The second sheet shows the results of a warm turbo after a few pulls. I'm VERY satisfied. She romps. She's great from idle...through the top end... at least the first 3 gears. lol. I haven't been able to take her any faster. I can't wait to see what she does at the track. Look at the graphs and let me have your thoughts and opinions. Oh, yeah, see my sig for more info. Thanks.

So anyways sheet #1:
Low Boost-5lbs--HP=429.97 and TQ=428.57
High Boost-8lbs--HP=499.04 and TQ=518.66
It was tuned with a Dyno Jet dyno with load added in.

P.S. Big thanks go to Alvin Anderson and the staff at PCM for Less of Mooresville, NC. They were very professional, timely, informative, and flat out know what they're doing...and I didn't lose a limb with the pricing. lol. I highly suggest them to everyone and WILL go back for further tuning needs.
Special thanks to my buddy Matt for all the help with the install.

Nice numbers is the car M6??

I really thought the car will be close to 520-540rwhp range with 8psi unless the car is auto with stall then awesome numbers.


EDIT one graph is 499rwhp and the other is 530rwhp what's the diffrence??

I took this advice on the same turbo you're using (rear mount also) and I noticed much quicker spool, like 1K RPM quicker

Venom WS7: The car IS an M6. The second graph is a dyno pull after consecutive pulls so the turbo was nice and warm.

Zombie & others: Yeah, I have LT's. Trust me, I've read your posts on this topic. lol. I'm with you. But I begged my wife for LT's...then turbo...so she would be pissed if I didn't use them. lol. Basically, when I got the LT's I wasn't sure about the turbo yet. In the future I WILL be getting manifolds and a retune. But for now...I(and the wife) am satisfied if you know what I mean. lol. Thanks guys.

I had same set-up, I got some over time money she didnt know about. bought some used 2.5" mac pipes that hook up to stock manifolds (150) then some manifolds (30). went over to a freinds house to "fix" his car, came home with headers in the back of the car. told her it was payment for fixing his car..... we're still married

Wow. I'm glad that I'm not the only guy with a "wife situation." lol. I might have to work something out for this soon. lol.. The only negative of this would be the need for a retune after the swap....$$$$. The wife can smell when I spend $$$$. lol.
