Got my MS3 tuned/dynoed

[djthom]

Wow very interesting day. First time to dyno the car and get a professional tune. I have to say that it was a cool process but WTF cobb why can't we tune live action? thankfully the guy who tuned my car didn't charge me for any of the load time associated w/ tuning w/ ATR

Holyroller Dyno is the name of the company and Giles was the tuner. This guy is good people. Very reasonably priced and he has been taking logs since the tune and dialing it in. Very satisfied!


blah blah blah right...
Mods: cobb sri, forge bpv, pg fmic, upgraded cdfp internals (kmd v2) cp-e catted tbe, and vanillaroma tree
ok so there were two tunes one at 20PSI and the other at 18PSI
both were done back to back on the same day at the same temp etc...

oh and the dyno was a dynapack Dynapack Chassis Dynamometers

20PSI
332HP / 370TQ

18PSI
326HP / 344TQ

The baseline was with the stage 2 v1.05 93 oct SF +FMIC OTS map
Thoughts?
How's it look?

[chief_wiggum]

[djthom]

nice work; where are you/he located?

its not 2xxx its 2600! haha

yeah the torque comes on quick and its easy to spin in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th!
i am actually asking him to dial 1st and 2nd back a bit for that reason...but man look at the curve! you get traction and you are pushed back into your seat quite nicely.

just wish it wasn't wrong wheel drive...

BTW i am running the 18 PSI map

20PSI map is for track days only

[squidmotion]

i really like that torque curve! TORQUE. ME WANT TORQUE.

i really like that torque curve! TORQUE. ME WANT TORQUE.

yeah i was pretty impressed with the fact the tuner found 30 WHP and just under 60 TQ over the stage 2 93 SRI+FMIC cobb OTS map.
(headbang)

 

[EwMPS]

Very strong!

 

[ms6acton]

nice numbers!

 

[SRTie4k]

Wow, impressive for bolt-ons.

If it were me, though, I'd be scared to drive that in the cold of the winter

Oh and btw - tuning with a Mac = fail (rofl2)

It shouldn't matter how cold it is if the MAF is calibrated correctly. The ECU will adjust the STFT and LTFT to compensate.

Its when you are using the Standback you need to be careful with temps.

Hey where in VT you from?

 

[essejkcamraw]
