The only change from before was I had off-road straight pipes changed to an off-road X-pipe and a retune. (A/F got leaner after X-pipe – that’s why retune was needed)
Check it out:

Not bad I think for full exhaust with mufflers <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
I got the dyno data, so I’ll try to some overlays later on <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Excellent EuG <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> I knew that your exhaust was restricting your true potential! What was your final A/F at peak HP? I think I would have stayed on the dyno and tweaked the A/F and timing very incrementally to squeeze out 4 more HP but then I am a greedy bastard too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Congrat's <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

You suck - I'm stuck down here in the land of 320hp. J/K. Very nice numbers, especially through a full exhaust. I don't think I would be embarrassed to drive that ocasionally <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Just get those extra 4 ponies.

Thanks guys <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
The specs in case somebody is wondering are:
</font>
(couldn’t find the 485rwHP run, so I used this 481rwHP, but the TQ curve is almost identical so)
<img src="http://www.agrnet.com:8888/Dyno/XPipeVsStraighPipes.jpg" alt=" - " />
Looks like it picked a LOT of the bottom end, lost some in the mid range and picked up on the top
Could some tuning variations that effected the shape a bit as well…

For some reason even though the dyno's correct for temperature people get their best numbers in the winter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

FYI: I just looked and the temp during the run was: 72Deg, CF = .97
Actual HP made was 512/498, STD: 519/505
Can I say my car makes ~600BHP? LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
