I was surprised at the numbers as well, but took into account that vs last time, i have been using 93oct fuel for some time vs the baseline runs i did a few months with 91oct. I KNOW that fuel did not contribute to all this extra power, but felt it helped a lot. Fuel + exhaust + MAF hoses and K&N filters. Could it be possible that 2013+ models/ECUs react better to these mods? Dont know if changes in the ECU programming were made in 2013. Just throwing some ideas around, but im no expert as you can see  |
It's just way to much. 32hp is unreal. A CBE doesn't do to much and even if you went full stillen gen 3 you're looking at only 15hp if you're lucky. There are single parts that when added do add a lot but the more you add the lower the increase. Unless im mistaken you only did a CBE right? Whats the cat situation?
I dyno'd with a cai and CBE and only made 3 more vs a car with only test pipes. Then I did a LTH and went up 13. The guy with the TP's wouldn't have a chance to gain 32hp with a cai and CBE beating my new number by 16hp. It just couldn't happen without a tune.
Fuel isn't going to change anything on a dyno. Octane just prevents knock which pulls timing. Just because you add more octane, the ecu can't increase timing within the stock map unless it's told to. It will only run whats set. Now if you tune a car and add octane, then you can add more timing till you knock and make more vs a lower octane where you'll have to tune for less timing since it will knock sooner. Only a car like a turbo regal with an alcohol sensor can increase timing on the fly when it notices you went from gas to e85. Now I will say this...unless you were knocking in the runs before, then yes, the fuel would add power and the parts would add 32hp. But from the looks of the graph I don't think you were knocking and 270hp is pretty much what every single stock 370 has put down on almost any dyno ever. So you see the only real variable that changed was something on the dyno. Nothing else adds up.
PS it's not a big deal. Long as the car runs good and you're happy that's all that matters. I just know people like to make customers happy so sometimes a few clicks here and there happen to show more. Hell my tuners even admitted it. A guy demanded like 500hp so he just clicked std vs SAE and boom, 19 more hp for the final run.
