You need to go see Adam at ST Motorsports in San Bernardino. He's the best in the business!

Today I added the Boss 302 intake manifold and a jLT cold air intake with a custom dyno. I wish my dyno numbers looked like yours. I started with a baseline before mods
Max power 348.97
Max torque 330.21

After mods
Max power 400.31
Max torque 350.26

I don't know much about the dyno and numbers. I am new at this but I am learning.

Dyno numbers aren't that important to be honest. Different dynos, different weather conditions, different altitude, different cars, etc...ET's and Trap Speeds are the best indication of how your car performs.

If you are comparing dyno numbers, just compare your own baseline to your own "after".

Peak numbers don't mean as much the torque curve and where you gain the power.

If you are still running cats, I'd get rid of them. Maybe try out the new L&M throttle body. I hear that Meziere is coming out with their electric pump soon too.

They say the most efficient way to measure performance is the track.

Assuming great track prep, great tires, and a decent driver.

I disagree with the first two. One should never compare ET's as some way of measuring performance. ET's are almost entirely a function of traction.

Trap speeds on the other hand do reflect changes in power, and are much harder to mess up than ET's. You don't even have to be a decent driver, just a consistent driver.

I spun 1-5 down our local track. The wheels never stopped slipping. My buddy on drag radials on the other hand. Hook and go.

San Antonio Raceway.

I had to feather it down the track so I didn't slam into the wall.

numbers look awesome man. I'm really leaning towards the lund 93 street tune right now.

The air raid CAI is on my wish list right now.

When I do my exhaust though, I'm still curious if there would be any real difference between the stock cats and a set of the magnaflow steel core race cats... I want to keep cats on the car to keep the volume down to a tolerable level on the interstate but if there is enough performance increase in the magnaflow cats to make it worth their price vs just leaving the stock ones on, I wouldn't mind knocking those out while I'm under the car swapping on the GT500 muffles.

Adaptive octane is nothing new. Its provided with your car from factory. We were keeping the factory octane adaptation from the beginning when we started tuning these cars. Although we were leaving a very wide range at the beginning and not tuning the cars as aggressively as we do now.

We still do the same thing but our current tunes are pretty aggressive and we normally recommend that you stay with the given octane, but if you are on a 93 octane tune and have no choice but to put 91 in our tunes do allow enough control to be able to compensate.

I believe all of the tuning available from the major vendors will do the same thing.
