Well after a LONG day of testing out the parts we designed over the past couple of days we're finally home. The results...simply amazing. These cars LOVE mods. To say they respond to mods well is an understatement!!
STOCK/BASELINE
235.53 whp / 266.46 ft lbs
...not bad!
add intake pipe and MBC (+1.5 psi)
The addition of an intake pipe and 1.5 psi netted STAGGERING results. We netted a 44 whp and 28 ft/lb INCREASE with just those parts!!! Talk about a restrictive stock setup!
279.77 whp / 294.50 ft lbs
add UICP & LICP
The addition of hard pipes netted us some more good number. Not sure how I lost the dyno run file but we netted 17 whp and 10 ft lbs. At this point we started noticing the UICP (hot pipe) has a tendency to fly off the intercooler. A bracket will be made to make sure the two pieces don't come apart.
296 whp / 305 ft lbs
add catback
The catback definitely woke this thing up. Not only does it sound amazing it looks so much better. We netted 14 whp and 1 ft lb. Heat soak is also becoming a problem...a bigger intercooler is definitely going to help this out.
310.48 whp / 306.71 ft lbs
add test pipe
The stock cat is definitely restrictive...our test pipe netted 20 whp and 2 ft lbs. The tone of the exhaust definitely gets nicer with this piece.
330.39 whp / 308.45 ft lbs
add downpipe
The last piece that we fabbed up was a downpipe. We assumed from previous test results and from the good design of the factory downpipe that results would net near nothing. Benefits include 304 SS construction as well as a WB bung.
By this point in our day the car was very heat soaked...a larger intercooler is in our NEAR future. We netted -2 whp and 3 ft lbs.
328.32 whp / 311.53 ft lbs
I'm working on hosting the video now so i'll post it up later....
All in all, we're VERY happy with what we've seen out of this car with minimal mods. We can't wait to make some more parts and actually TUNE this beast!! Last but not least, I'd like to extend a BIG thanks to the Eric, Mark and Bobby at Philly Dyno Works for allowing us to take over their shop for the day!! Till next time....

I want it all. It's amazing to me that these cars are making power like this with out any tuning. The parts look good and congrats on those numbers. I will be looking for these parts when they are produced.
I got to ride in the car on the way home from the dyno and all I can say is WOW 
Almost 100whp over stock feels nice, even with the car running terribly rich. Its much more responsive throughout the RPM range and pulls alot smoother too. This would be a perfect setup for a daily in my book, besides the eventual ECU flash when that's possible. But still a huge gain and it really woke up the car!
