Dyno numbers?

I know you guys must get this all the time..and sorry..but I gotta know if Im gonna spend some money. What can I expect to dyno at if I got SLP's loudmouth exhaust with the new flowpac deal they got out (lid,filter,smoothbellow,coldair). Then put a MAF with that..what am i lookin at guys? btw im running on kuhmo ecsta supras if it matters. thanks

The bellow wont get ya much.. if any.. the maf nada.. cold air wont show on the dyno.. and the filter will make you lose a couple (about 3 rwhp..) so the lid and the exhaust are all you have..

I wouldnt expect huge gains... and from what I have seen lately from peoples dyno numbers.. RWTQ seems to be less if they have headers or exhaust.... odd.. but just an observation..

Buy a Direct Flow lid from LS1Motorsports.com. They are like $100 and will give you around 10hp. VERY worth it.

You can get also get the FTRA from fast toys, that is another really good seat-of-the-pants mod. Your dyno numbers won't go up, but your "real world" driving will net more horsepower.

Those two mods together could net you around 3/10ths in the quarter mile.

Just remember though a ram air kit might not show up on the dyno it will at the track. Dyno number aren't everything, though I wouldn't say that they're nothing. With just lid and exhaust I'd guess you'll put down 305-310 at the wheels. Good luck

I think they are pretty much the same product. I suggest Fast Toys though, because they came to the market with this product first and are not a "copycat" and they have absolutely fantastic customer service (from personal experience).
