E-Spec - Erkle Tune - 2011 GSR

After hunting down some recommendations for a top notch east coast tuner, Erkle at E-Spec is a top tier option. I am very pleased with the results. A night and day difference from stock!

'11 GSR - 93 octane
Power mods:
ETS TBE
ETS DP/Open Dump
ETS Test Pipe
Works Drop in Air Filter
GFB Response BOV


Note: Dyno dynamics read lower than dyno jets. 12% lower peak power? <--- link to discussion thread.

Ok.... The dynamics used to tune mine reads lower than a dyno jet, a fact known by the shop. It's a note worthy detail to point out for people researching power potentials. Perhaps you can share your observations at "this" discussion thread and contribute some insightful progressive information to the discussion. Thanks.

Not bad considering you just have a Works drop-in. Why was the run started at 3500rpm though?

You're not to far from us, I invite you to come put your car on our DynoJet for free one weekend so we can have a direct comparison. I believe my DynoJet to read somewhat low basing it off what customers have told me coming from other shops with Dyno Dynamics, Mustang Dyno's, and even other DynoJets. Let me know if you're interested.

The TBE must be contributing also...

Sounds great. I'd like to see the comparison. Thank you for the kind offer.

There are multiple post on what people can expect with certain mods, no need to emphasize the "READS LOWER " than a dynojet or antithetical style of dyno. Dyno numbers are just that...NUMBERS..to me where it matters the most is at the track.. because it will sound ridiculous to ask "hey what did your dyno sheet numbers run"?

Ps- it would take Moore's change for **** and giggles

Yeah, obviously the TBE is helping make power, lol. I meant in contrast to most people having a full intake (which I know for a fact will free up some more power over the stock airbox with a drop-in).

I was just wondering about the start rpm, I usually start around 2000 to get the full operating range since the stock turbo spools by 3000.

Like I said, just let me know if/when you want to come down.

My post further adds credible information to the already existing database of expectations from certain mods. The more credible data within the community the better it is for the community and for those that want to research their project builds. This is a undisputable fact. Second there are infinite combinations of parts and so there can never be to much data or posts that define to many variables. What actually takes away and adds confusion is posts like yours that talk of observations without contributing any statistical, factual, controlled data to your observations. You added nothing of substance besides some comment about a observation. This makes for no forward progress in potential build awareness.

So did you NOT see the test performed on dynos by a magazine that was link to that thread?
To me the 12% more theory is a bandage to what you put down ..Moore is giving you a free comparison, will you take it ?

Actually Erkle made the same observation, the car matched power that others put down with my mods + intake. I speculate it's the works + the open dump that make up for the lack of intake. I would like to be wrong though and have it come down to a stronger engine due to luck of the draw. I'm planning for the ETS intake.

We're happy that you are pleased with the car!!

I noticed you posted a link to another dynojet vs dd discussion thread. Our dyno reads 5-8% lower than other local dynojets in the area. 12% is a bit of a stretch.

Nonetheless, your car felt great and was a pleasure to work with.

Thanks for thinking of us as a part of your build!
