UpRev tuned @ R/T Tuning - Results
 

Got UpRev tuned at R/T Tuning this morning. Thanks to Vince and the guys at R/T. It was well worth the 4h in the car to/from Baltimore.

Prior Mods: Berk HFCs, NISMO Exhaust (H-pipe from OEM NISMO), K&N drop ins with silicone post MAF tubes.

+19whp, +19 wtq, with good increases across whole band.

Damn I can't believe you drove from Baltimore to R/T Tuning!
:O
How long did the whole process take?
And did they let you drive the z on the dyno?

Fantastic numbers and similar to those I've seen with similar mods and the UpRev tune! How much did they charge you for the tune?

Yea, it was 200 mi round trip, but a shop to remain nameless around here quoted me an obnoxious price for a canned tune on a Cobb Accessport. I saved over $300 and got an UpRev dyno tune instead. The bonus was a delicious cheesesteak for lunch.... they are just not the same in Baltimore.

Whole process took a little over 2h. I did not drive on dyno. Vince sat in car with laptop while on roller.

They were almost double what I was expecting and they said it is one of the best gains they have had on a 370 with similar mods. Got lucky I guess. They gave me a promo price for being on forum of $525.

That's a great price I've been quoted as high as $1000 in CT :shakes head:

Same deal around here. Well worth $40 in gas and tolls to save a ton of $$ and on top of it deal with an experienced shop.

Nice numbers man HFC's really free'd it up, I made just shy off 300WHP on stock cats..

If you don't mind a short drive to Long Island, you can go to Welcome To The Experience | Performance Motorsport 2011'
Their running a $500.00 special. Just thought I would share some sponsor info. :tiphat:

Congrats. Very impressive gains.

Very impressed with those numbers and that curve. Props to Rt, Im sure the ride was no thing but a chicken wing up and cheese steak back. What better way to do a test comparison between a non uprev/uprev tune. On the ride back... How did the car feel on the highway performance wise? I already know the looking forward ride had you anxious.
Are you bitter cause Vince didnt allow you to drive on the Dyno? :rolleyes::p

The highway on the way back is where I really noticed the gains. Traction is more of a limiting factor in 1st gear, but once you can get to open it up through 2nd and 3rd, the car pulls much harder. I can even feel the difference in 4th when passing. No issues at all with driveability.

I love having the different maps as well.. can't wait to valet it for the first time and watch the kid pull away only to realize it is limited to 3000 rpm / 30 mph. It is much harder to keep my foot off the gas now... My gas mileage will be taking another hit :shakes head:

This is the first time I have ever had a car on a dyno, so it was cool this time. Next time Vince better have me in the driver seat... maybe let me work the laptop and tune it too.... wait, I don't want my engine to blow up.

It was great having you up to the shop Alan. Did you end up getting the cheesesteak from Franks?

how soon is too soon to instal the uprev...im at 301km...should i wait until im at 1000km

I did mine at 2100 miles. Last week.

erik, what kind of numbers do you think i should be looking for with....

stillen g2 intake
stillen headers
stillen cats
HKS cat back exhaust
with the UPrev

i have the 2011 roadster, auto in sport pack.

thats like 3400km...what kind of numbers did you see? any other mods?

Yea Exoticspeed CBE and stillen Gens 3's. Made 298 WHP and 230 WTQ. This is on a AWD 7 SPD AT..:tiphat:

if it was only rear wheel...you think it would of been around 315??

Yea and not a AUTO, 6 SPD man's should make more power. To say 5% more would be safe.

Yea... Great recommendation. Italian chicken cheesesteak I had was amazing. It was some much needed lunch before the ride home. Of course whatever one my Dad ordered put him to sleep for most of it!

Add 20-30 to what I made WHP and Torque.

so im looking for 310 to 320 on the dyno = 370-380 on the motor?

Alan had some good gains for his set up. I have found that the Autos and the Sedans (M37 and G37) seem to pick up good gains do to the factory running lower timing and and richer air fuels. I think they do it to make the cars feel a little more tame.

Yea 320-320 WHP( Mind you on a mustang dyno Best Dyno IMO) If you use a different dyno the numbers will be larger.

I have seen Dynos of cars with the same mods as me + HFC's and they make about 10 more WHP and 20 more WTQ. The HFC's really up the WTQ a lot.

if i see 320 i would be so happy!

You will be happy

cant wait!! i am told, from the shop ill need to bring it back after a few week to tweak it...as i have so many new parts going on?

Which in CT? EFI Tuning or RDZ?? just curious... Also, can anyone tell me if you get a tune, if it kills your warranty?

100% right.. I'm meeting my tuner this saturday( 2weeks) to recheck the tune. Just to make sure after some miles and getting all over it there are no glitches.. :)

This is good to hear as I plan on going to R/T for my Uprev. Im just not sure if I should go w the flash or the standard package though. What are the pros and cons of those two??? Which package did you do Fed Hill??

I was originally going to get the Osiris standard tuner, but i ended up doing the flash. Unless you were planning on trying to modify one of the maps yourself or lived really far from a tuner and wanted to go the e-tune route, it is not worth paying to have the actual tuning device. If I do any more mods to the car and need a retune at R/T, Vince said they would usually only need 1h of dyno time ($175) to update the tune I have now. Of course if it's something extreme, tune would take longer.

Awesome, thanks Fed.
