Tuned, missed goal, but respectable I finally tuned my car yesterday. The end result was 361.8 rwhp and 362.9 torque. The dyno graph looks strong, car runs better and pulls better. I was expecting 370 or more, but oh well. I guess I need to save up for a better cam and heads.
Here are the mods:
ram air hood
descreened maf
k & n FIPK
throttle body bypass
comp cams xr269hr cam (216/220, .528/.532, 114 lsa)
titanium retainers
hardened push rods
comp 26918 springs
pacesetter long tubes
3in off road y pipe
80 series flowmaster
ls1edit tuning from carolina auto masters
I gained 13 horse from the tune, but counting tune and cam i have gained 32rwhp. Not to bad. Looking at LS6 heads and fm13 cam now.

You can see about 10 hp gain by adding a Flow master Merger (3" into 3.5") into your ORY. Also, the Flowmaster muffler don't real well. Might want to add a cutout or a stright thought mufler. All the little thinks add up real quick.

I was already considering the cut out. I have thought about chambered muffleres also, but not from GMMG, any insight on that?

What is so wrong with Flowmaster. I hear that all the time. It is tested and respected. I am not going to put out $700 for some pipe that GMMG stamped their name to. I may get chambered exhaust in the coming years, but not from them. It is to expensive and I am not going to buy just a name.
