What would be a realistic whp number I could expect to get on stock 2006 9 MR if I took it to my local tuner and said "here's $5,000 how much REALIBLE WHP can we make? What mods would you recommend if you had a stock 9MR and $5k to spend?

Anyone have good experience with shops in NJ?

I just spent $4200 and gained about 100hp. Peak number is irrelevant as all dynos read differently, and the only thing that matters is how much you gained.
FWIW, I went with cams, injectors, fuel pump, filter, boost controller, mapping, full exhaust, and some kind of real-time A/F and EGT gauge

 

It all depends. You will be paying like over 1000 in labor and tuning maybe closer to 2grand. Plus a shop will sell you parts that are expensive and unnecessary. So maybe 350whp. Now if you were to buy and install all the parts yourself with an FPgreen and meth and pay a real good tuner to tune your car then maybe you will be around 450whp.

 

alot

 

With a good shop you should be able to get pretty high 300's at the wheels im going to spend a little over 2k and be right around 300 at the wheels so

 

recent dude just got 500 with 4000 :P

 

Depends on where you go and if your going to put the mods on urself, or your gonna have them done. Either way with a good tune you should be look mid-high 300s

 

yeah but i think he did some installs himself, plus he got some part from ebay which had to be somewhat modified.

 

buy the parts you want

bring it to dogbox racing in Howell - www.dogboxracing.com

then drive to Linden and have Sean Ivey tune it - www.iveytune.com

tbe - $825 (buschur)
manual boost controller - $90 (hallman)
ported o2 housing - $150ish (buschur)
255lph fuel pump - $90 (walbro)
alky kit - $450ish (labonte motorsports)
3" fmic - $400ish (ets)
2.5" licp - $170ish (ets)

parts - $2,200ish

labor - figure $70-$80 bucks an hour with about 6-8 hours worth of work - $500-$700ish (could vary just guess-timating here)

tune - $450 at Ivey Tune

$2,200
$700
$450

total- $3,350

this should net you anywhere from 380-400whp on a dynojet (what Ivey has)

 

My mystic search ball says...................................... search some more.

Damn.

 

thanks for the input so far -
any other good tuners in the NJ area?

 

or you can buy stage one for like a grand and be at about 330whp

 

haha ya stage one $1200, plus a good tune and labor..dont have time/skills/or patience to do it myself and im doing a couple other small things i didnt list, new oil, plugs, diff. fluid tt etc..etc..

 

Cheap, Reliable, Fast you pick the two. There is no such thing as cheap realiable power. Not saying 5k is not a lot of money but if you are wanting a power monster that is reliable than you want to start from the bottom end and work your way up which gets really spendy, just ask the people who have done it.
