so last year i got tuned by sean ivey and i put down 347whp 346ft lbs of torque with:
o2 housing
fuel pump
intercooler pipes and intake
turboback exhaust
exhaust manifold
boost controller on 24lbs
272 cams

now i just ordered the apr windsplitter for looks
apg fmic
and on monday i am odering the exedy twin disk clutch and shep trans with 4.11
and my favorite thing the aquamist kit

i cannot wait to see my new numbers for this year when i get retuned mooohoohahahahahahaaaaaa

i will be pretty sad if i dont put down at least 420whp tho

 

i cant wait to see your numbers.... when you going to the dyno?

 

should be some where around there...good luck

 

Wait a min... let me see if I got this straight...

You were at 347whp.

You got:

APR splitter
new FMIC
new clutch & trans
some Water Injection kit.

So basically you're hoping to gain 76whp off just a water inj. kit? Good luck man... don't think it's going to happen though.

 

Agreed. 400 maybe.

 

Just for reference a few years ago on an viii turbo with 280 cams I put down 330whp.

With (YOUR exact two added mods) an smc alky kit (100% alky) and BR Race FMIC
I put down 376whp....this was at 27 psi on the stock turbo obviously falling at redline. 46whp gain pushing the limits.

Not sure how the ix reacts to the same basic mods but I don't think you will reach 80whp+ IMO.

 

yeaaa i def think i will be over 400 with the meth and the bigger intercooler and a couple more pounds of boost and some good tuning. i've seen some of the cars that sean ivey put out of his shop and the guy def knows what he is doing
272 cams
o2 housing
turboback exhaust
intercooler pipes and intake
255 fuel pump
exhaust manifold
boost controller
apg fmic
and meth

yea i know for a fact i will be well over 400. meth is the love juice for our cars

 

you gotta plan big so if you fall a bit short it wont be so bad. gotta raise the bar for yourself....i should be getting tuned at the end of this month so i will def. post the numbers up when its done

 

Good luck, keep us posted.

 

It will be interesting if you make 420whp.

 

just don't be surprised.

Dyno number themselves never really matter. I am always more interested in trap speeds as a tell of true power.

 

I duno man...i dont see you making anywhere near 420 w/ meth and an intercooler. Sure ivey knows what hes doing but you cant magically make hp without more mods

 

Is you trans done or something because thats way overkill

 

my trans has been rebuilt 3 times already from the dealership and she is pretty much done again. i'm just tired of the down time i go through when it comes to my trans. i'm ordering the trans from shep tomorrow. i rather have a bullet proof trans in there that i will not have to worry about ever again

 

let me know what kind of difference u would notice with the shep trans cause my tranny has been rebuilt once by the dealer as well, and iam thinking that it might need another rebuild soon.
