Drove up to Pruven yesterday for a custom tune on my Evo. The only mods I have are:

Hallman MBC set at 20psi
Walbro 255 fuel pump
AEM Short Ram Intake
Clutchmasters Stage 1 clutch w/aluminum flywheel

Al netted me 35WHP and 32 lbs/torque to the wheels, the power delivery is super smooth and you can really feel the difference. Can't wait 'till I get an exhaust and maybe cam gears as Al recommended to me as he would be able to pull even more power out of it.

Well worth my time and money....thanks again Al and Pruven.

 

That's a nice increase in power. Now it's time for the dragstrip .

 

yeah, exhaust will make much even more improvement, and you definitely need cams, since your name is 'cam2'

 

Al does it again, nice gains, and i bet it runs smooth as a babys *** cheeks

 

So whats your WHP?

 

lame question but....how do u people know that your running 20 or whatever pounds? i have an MBC and my boost gauge is off. it shows as 21 but i know its not. besides a dyno how can i find out my boost? when i get my custom tune from AL, will he have some sort of tool that will tell me how much boost im running?

 

He didn't when he tuned my car

 

mine was tuned on the street and on a dynapack dyno, which read boost, and matched up perfectly with my greddy readout, so I go by that.

 

I know how much boost I'm running because I have a boost gauge.

 

My mechanic hooks up a second boost gauge when we work on the car to make sure its accurate.

 

Is there any difference in off-boost performance and spool-up, or is it all a gain from 3000rpm up?

 

yes there is a big difference in off boost performace when modified and tuned. Mine is much stronger down low. At 2000rpm I start spooling and have 20psi by 2900rpm in 4th. Much smoother as well.

 

I tested out 3 different boost gauges to make sure.

 

how do you know that your boost gauge is off? that is weird? what kind do you have? just take the hit and get a defi or a top notch gauge. my autometer lasted about a year and then it took a shhhiiiitttt...i learned my lesson

 

Yup...I have a Defi boost gauge in my Evo...it's sweet...much better than the Autometer or VDO...
