Default Anybody making 500rwhp+ in Vegas?

My N/A car made 514/478 in Ohio, and now in Vegas it makes 484/444...My tuner and many local people Ive spoken to seem to agree that its because of the crappy gas & air here.

Is there anyone making 500+ N/A on an LS2 in Vegas? If so...whats your setup?

Heres my setup:

-AFR 205 Mongoose Heads
-G5X3 Cam
-Fast 90/90
-Kooks 1 7/8
-3" Midpipe No Cats


Thanks!

-Geoff

Bad air.....what is he a clown?

Check your elevations (density altitude) in Ohio and Vegas, also the temps when the car was dynoed at each place.

Not sure about Ohio, but the DA in Vegas is usually between 5000-6000 ft.

Thats where your loss of power has gone.

What city in Ohio was it dynoed? What elevation?

Then when was it dynoed in both locations?

The outside air temp when dynoed is the other important part.

3-5% dyno error between the two dynos is another factor.

Ya, the DA is the only thing that makes sense, there's a huge diff between Vegas and Sea level.

I was thinking about switching my setup to TFS 215s & G6X3 hoping for over 500.
