Got my MS3 tuned/dynoed

how the drivability of your car? I mean, thats a shitload of power to the front wheel...

yeah its pretty dumb really.(iagree)

this car is wrong wheel drive...wish it was RWD or AWD but i knew what it was when i bought it so i will STFU on that!

i have gotten to the point where i am used to the power curve and how much throttle before it goes ape s*** though so it is still daily drivable.

the tuner has agreed to update the two maps w/ 1st and 2nd gears pulled back a little though.
 
dj you could always drop requested load below say 3k to make it a bit easier. I have my tune setup that way, at 3k its like flipping a light switch and im gone lol

that is exactly what i am looking to do!

next purchase is a set of wheels and some beefier tires!
 
hmmm...your numbers seem a little unrealistic. I'm not hating or calling bs, but it took almost a fully bolted car and tune to make 291 honest, uncorrected whp on a dynojet @19.6psi. Well, I guess my car isn't tuned to shoot fireballs from 3k-4k...just kidding :)
 
Lol. I'm making 286whp and 320wtq uncorrected with an intake and a tune at 18psi. You need to get a decent tune

not sure what you would need to see...
also my car is a bit more "bolted" than your car

it was tuned on a dynopack dynomometer with a correction factor of ZERO. it is what it is.

i think a good way to look at it is what i got with this tune OVER the cobb stage 2 map

18PSI = 34TQ/26WHP
20PSI = 60TQ/32WHP

what we don't know and could speculate till the cows come on your face is what numbers this translate to on other dynos...

once summer hits i will prob go to a dyno day and have different numbers to post.

My tune is great, and I'll try to post the last pull as soon as I can get around to it. I have noticed that the boost delivery is wayyyyy different depending on when I get into the gas. Starting at 2k rpms, boost builds gradually from 16@3k and builds to 19.6ish by 4300 and tapers off gradually by redline. If I get into the gas at 3500, boost hits 23.8 and holds over 20 until until almost 5k. Needless to say the car makes a ton more power at this point but the dyno reflects a pull starting @2500. Anybody else notice this? I can't call it a spike because it holds, but will never build to that level starting below 3k rpms. All vitals look good at that boost level as well. Thoughts?

at that boost level you should be over 300. i did 286 on a dynojet at 16psi cuz it cant load the car enough to warrant 18psi
 
Those are nice #’s. I did a dyno session this past weekend. I was happy I got to 300 hp with one of my pulls. The average was 270 hp. I was using ots stage 2 with cai/91. I now need a fuel pump. On one of the last pull the fuel pressure dropped to 800 psi. It was done also on a dynapack dyno. Afterwards, they changed my AEM cai for their sri. The pulls were almost the same. The only problem was the afr(really lean). I ended up reflashing with my original ots map. That is when it did 304 hp and 320 lb-ft…

I have a question for those who have a custom tune. When the tuner does a map change or adjustment to the ecu, is there a learning for the maf?

what do you mean? he will recalibrate the maf if he knows what hes doing
 
i asked the same question...

the tuner should be calibrating the maf tables first. once done there is no learning period needed...

a really good tuner will have you calibrate the maf through email (log driving, make adjustments, log driving, rinse and repeat) before you ever get to the shop as to not waste dyno time!!

Thanks! Thats some good info for the next time I dyno.
