so, yesterday i picked up my packages from fedex, and last nite, in the freezing cold i put on my gmpp intake, 20 mins, and i did it in the dark, that was really easy.

today when i dropped of my car at a local performance shop to put on the gmpp manifold and performance catback,

when i got back from the dealer, my car was done

so.. now when i punch it while in 1st, my drive wheel spins not when im taking off i mean when im already in gear, guess i should a got an lsd, to bad there was no option for it in the g5. anyway the car feels a lot quicker and smoother,

im going back to the shop within a few days (gotta go back to work n ****) to get him to dyno it for me, it'll be on a dyno-jet, and we were discussing a tune, i hope to have a dyno sheet for you by the end of the week if he has time to do it on a my 2.5hr break from work.

i've seen a bunch of 2.4's with different mods on here, hitting 160+ to the wheels with just a cai and a tune, and hispdpursuit just posted a thread showing he did 171 at the wheels with just a cai and catback,

seeing as how i have the catback, manifold and intake, im wondering what i'll be at, im gonna do a dyno run for the parts i installed and then one after the tune , i wish i could have had a stock dyno chart too but the shop had a few cars going on the dyno today and didnt have time for mine

 

Nice, cant wait to see the Dyno sheet

So you still have the stock cat on there right?

 

Nice! Looking forward on seeing where your running at now.

hey can you get a sound clip of the exhuast?

 

Congratulations bro. You just woke her up big time.

 

to answer a few questions, i stil do have my stock downpipe and cat, and i'll try to post a video, its snowing heavy outside today so i doubt it'll happen today, but i do say as ong as i keep the revs below 2750rpm, its not too loud, WOT is a different story, but its not ricer loud, i love it

 

give the car some time to get used to the new mods....let it get used to it at all parts of the RPM band from idle to WOT right before redline.

 

hey hispdpursuit your car was dyno'd at steeda, which is a mustang dyno correct? arent those intended for rear wheel drive cars? and if so wouldnt that make your numbers a bit higher? or lower?

 

if you are going to dyno it have it tuned, otherwise your wasting your money. with a good tune you will probably pick up damn near the same performance as you did with your upgrades

 

well i was planning on having a dyno before and after tune, the shop i went to has a dyno there and they can tune it, so im getting a better deal this way, plus im doing the guy a favor so i'm just gonna ask for a free dyno

 

Eh congrats on the purchases, I remember when I bought mine it just brought thecar alive,damn lots of G5gt comming to the site

 

yes and i will be getting the gmpp intake and gmpp touring exhaust done here by wed next week

 

can't wait to see the results...exact same set-up I'm going with, but an XTC downpipe on top of it.

 

I demanded pics

 

im on lunch right now, i'll take pics of what i can and the next time my car is hoisted i'll take pics of the manifold n exhaust

 

is anyone geting CEL from the gmpp? i cant wait to get all the gmpp for my car this winter.

 

there's no cel from the gmpp. its a gm part, they wouldnt release it it there was one, cels are being cause my filters you have to oil, excessive oiling will clog up the maf and cause it to throw a cel, this is a dry filter, oil free, no cell,

i did the intake, manifold and exhaust, with the battery connected, no cel

 

my dyno was done on a mustang dyno. mustang dyno's tend to be more accurate as well.

it also doesnt matter if it is FWD or RWD on a mustang or dynojet...

and yea...a tune would do these cars good since they run very lean. the reason i got a dyno doen was just to get an idea of the power, but more importantly see what the engine is doing in terms of knock retard, timing, air:fuel, etc

 

^^^ k , cause my boy has a grand prix and he turbo'd it and his turbo guy told him that dynojet is more accurate for fwd cars

 

Nice job dude!

Hope you like your mods!

 

yeah all i've been told is how jets aremore accurate than mustangs

 

^^^ this sounds like its getting into a preference thing, or a convenience thing, lol.. i wonder if anyone has figured out why both the dyno's show different numbers on the same car

 

I myself will also be getting all the GMPP mods. I plan on tuning it but not sure where is best or if it can be done by the dealer or whatnot. With all of that I hope to have around 175 at the wheels.

 

im hoping for 175 whp as well with my current mods, also hoping for 190 whp with a good tune

 

If I can get 190whp with a good tune I'll be a really happy camper. What do most SS/SC's have to the wheels stock?
