Default Tune questions!

Hows it going all? Just have a few questions about my current tune and would like some second opinions about whats going on here and the cars future as to she will be soon paid off!

Mods are as follows:
SLP lid and K&N filter
TSP 233/239 .595/.603 113
patriot gold springs with titanium retainers
Cleaned up factory 241s (minor minor port)
MAC Mids, MAC y-pipe (gutted magnaflow cats), Jegs catback, Manual cutout
HPE (chuck?) Tuned, this dyno sheet is from Icon.

Major question is does this look healthy in terms to listed mods? and peaking from cam? disregards to the torque spike.



So im guessing my next step to more power is heads?
Thanks all, Any help is appreciated! Have nice holidays!

Yeah those stock manifolds are chocking your car up, I really don't understand why people get a cam with out freeing up the intake and exhaust first?

I would say get a set of pacesetters and you will see a 20-40hp gain.

I'd say the following mods are in order (In order of cost effectivness) and bench racing numbers for reference only

-1 7/8 Long tube headers, Worth about 15rwhp over your mid's
- Nice set of 243's (LS6 Heads) that flow 310cfm+, Worth about 25rwhp over your 241's(This is a being conservative also)
- Fast 92/92 Intake/Throttle body, worth atleast 20rwhp (But we all know at the mods hes at it will be more)

So your looking at 450rwhp when its all said and done, but thats around 3-4k worth of mods lol.

FWIW your torque numbers are ******* amazing for what you have done.

Nice numbers for what you have done - How do you like the driveability of your cam?
