Just got back from getting tuned:



Mike at AMS said that my numbers were pretty high for the mods and that they usually see around 270 with those mods. I doubt that can be attributed to the exhaust but I'm definitely very happy with it, the tune and my numbers

 

What kind of dyno is this?

 

Dynomite

 

what other mods do you have?

 

Just what it says on the graph. The ebay exhaust, a Hallman Pro MBC (21 psi), and a Walbro.

 

haha, i totally didn't see that. Those are great numbers for those mods, DAMN!!!

 

Just an addition over a Lower IC pipe and a 02 housign would REALLY open things up. The addition of an intake filter would certainly add more topend. Buschur/APEXi design works very well especially with the OEM intake tube.

 

nice numbers. is the dynomite dyno similar to the readings of a mustang dyno?
like baseline would be around 230ish

 

Mike told me that a bone stock Evo 8 usually puts down around 240 on a Dynomite.

 

I was planning on picking up a drop in filter and a new DV in the near future. I hadn't really thought about any IC piping or a new O2 hosuing though.

 

good numbers!

 

You would be looking at an EASY 20WHP bolted on. Faster spoolup for sure, better top end, better torque that won't drop off as fast, way better throttle response. A Drop in filter is ok but the OEM intake Air Box adds about 1.5 PSI of pressure drop meaning the turbo has to work that much harder. Purchase a SIMPLE Buschur intake filter, Just the filter and not the MAF pipe. Go back with those other mods I had listed, I bet you pick up 30WHP and a greater power band AND faster spoolup.

Seriously it's that much help. The 02 Housing alone picked up 15WHP on Buschur's race car, a full race car modded to hell and back.

Recap

Add a
BR Intake Filter
Ebay 02 Housing
Lower Intercooler Pipe

 

Oh yeah dude, CAMS, you have an VIII. All the mods above and get some HKS 272 Cams and look for 350WHP on 93 Pump. That's what I did on my 9.8 housing WITHOUT an ebay 02 housing. It is so simple with these mods.

 

can't wait to get mine

 

Sounds good. I guess I know what my next mods are then
