Glenn has been a customer of ours for the last few years and has steadily evolved his IX into an aggressive street car. When we first tuned the car it put down 330whp on pump and soon followed at 366 with pump meth on stock cams. Well that was only fun for so long before he decided some more upgrades were in order.

This most recent round of modification saw the following added:

GSC S2 Cams
FP Beehive valvesprings
TiTek O2 housing
ARP rod bolts
FIC 1250 BlueMax injectors
Map switching to go from pump/meth to E85
The JoT switch harness of course
Omnipower 4 bar MAP sensor
and an SD conversion

After some initial issues with the solenoid on the Profec we were able to get some really nice numbers. In fact this is the highest we have seen on a stock intake manifold and high flow cat. The Buschur 3" exhaust allowed the spent gases to exit and make:



Congrats Glenn, and good luck with your new found power

If I keep reading things like this about the FP Red I'm going to end up spending more money. Very nice car and a damn good tune!

 

Very nice numbers. I'm assuming this was done on E-85 and not the pump/meth setup? And what were the ambient temps during the run?

Congrats to Glenn, too.

 

Yes this was the E85...forgot to add that. The pump/meth tune was done on 91 octane (approx) as the owner will be in California for awhile and wanted to be able to switch back and forth if E85 wasnt available and not really have to knock the boost down. Pump/meth was not quite as impressive.

It was 75* in the dyno cell this morning, humidity was about 35%. I left the numbers uncorrected since it was actually more corrected. While that would still have been accurate I like to give numbers that show what the car was doing it when it rolled in.

 

Nice power JB!

Mitch

 

looks good JB! Congrats to the OP.

 

Awesome power up top.

 

Thanks guys This is about 20whp more than our last high horsepower stock manifold Red on E85. The kicker is this has a cat (same Injen piping with a big ETS intercooler) and the other doesnt though this is SD and Jim's isnt SD. Jim's has been further modded since but it was 480/410 at the same boost with the same mods.

 

Through a cat that is impressive!

 

is it a bushur high flow cat?

 

No way, that dyno reads too high.... J/K

Just had to.... Nice work Aaron. Would be interested to see the results with no cat.

Keep up the good work!

 

Great Job Aaron!

 

**edit** I found the answer...

 

I would assume it is since it has the Buschur downpipe and catback. I looked at it and it looked like a magnaflow so I didnt really investigate too much more than that. I will say its amazing how much it knocks the volume down and obviously didnt seem to hurt the power.

Thanks I would be interested in removing that and the injen piping for some piping that I know works better. It has the intercooler just needs the rest of the kit, but Glenn wants to do a Magnus this winter so I am thinking we'll wait until then. I'll do a catted and catless pull when we do that though.
