Performance Mod Questions!

I stopped by Torq and said screw it. Doing the dyno there tomorrow at 8:30am

Thanks for the fast response guys. If i purchase the LT's, will i have to get a different exhaust also? I love the borla catback i just installed last week.

Fight for your DREAMS!!! Because they can come true...

you would just need LT's with a factory connect pipe, this way it works with all exhausts that fit the factory setup

I'm excited to see your results

what were the results?

Sorry for the delay just got the graph emailed to me and was working in the lab all day.



This was on a Mustang Dyno so the numbers will be lower than a DynoJet. I will wait for a Dyno Day at one of the places with a DynoJet and see if I can have a couple pulls done.

They did pull up a graph from a Raptor with CAI, Tune, & Cat Back to compare mine too. When they did that you could see the power gains clearly that the LT's provided all the way thru the powerband so the LT's help a lot.

So the numbers are 344 RWHP and 354 RWTQ

so thats equivalent to 394 WHP and 406 WTQ when converting to dynojet numbers

drivetrain loss is roughly 18%, so that means 480 hp and 495 tq at the flywheel.... which is a gain of roughly 15%

not BAD but not great

I guess every vehicle can't be like an evo - minor bolt ons and raised boost can easily yield a 50+% power increase.

@SilentShooter -

Curious ballpark figure how much those mods cost to attain those numbers.

From what I'm reading those mods get your about 20 ~ 30 hp. Not sure how much TRQ gained.

On my M3 it costs roughly $3000 to get 10 ~ 15 hp N/A route. After wasting money I finally went FI and gained +200 hp for about $12k.

Getting the mod bug, don't think I'm going FI anytime soon, but if cheap mods can get you 20 hp or so it might be worth it.

That's how it was with my Evo 8.

Miss the bang or the buck with that car. Shouldn't have gotten rid of her.

pick up a clean salvage one for like 10k and keep it
