he probably has the triffecta tune... its 300$

im thinking of throwing an extra 35 or 55 shot of nitrous.... so that will make at least 350WHP and 380WTQ... witch it would be INSANE!!!

338 whp and 330 wrtq. Tune, DP, Catback, Chargepipes, Stock IC last time. More tuning on thurs. Cam tuning time. Hoping with the IC, catless DP now, and some cam tuning to make closer to 350 whp and 350 wtrq.

You cant put up whp numbers unless you've verified them with a few dyno runs to verify the tunes claims.......

FYI: you need to proof read before you post: Thew cars come with 260 flywheel\crankshaft hp or about 237-245 whp..... 300 whp is around 335-345 flywheel\ crank hp... All cars are sold advertised with flywheel\crank hp...... A lot of these guys that are on stock turbo (with no turbine wheel upgrade and I know there's a few here), are dynoing on known overly high rated dynos such as a mustng dyno.... 285-315 whp is about the ave...

300WHP on the LNF is pretty much just basic bolt on modifications along w/ a tune

My numbers came from a dynojet. 283hp and 296tq. I'm also putting a trifecta tune on top of this and most likely a bigger turbo kit next spring

You should custom tune on top of the stage tune. You will get better results trust me.

Thats my toss up right now. I have a buddy that can tune the car for me for $250 with hp tuners (street tune) or i can do trifecta for $200. Quick question. What should i set my AFR to??

Get your friend to street tune it. A/F should be slightly richer 12.6 or so and add more timing (around 16-18* seems to work well), and if he knows how to do some cam tuning. The only way to truely know if you are gaining or loosing power is to check it on a dyno as you make changes.

In that case, log the MAF flow in lbs/min. That should give you a good idea if you are making more power or not. If the flow increases when you make a change the HP increases as long as you have your timing and A/F where they should be.

They come stock with 260 BHP\crank hp, not FWHP.... The FWHP is around 235 to 245 stock.... A 290-305 whp balt will be near 330-345 bhp.....

All LNF cars have a learn-down so bolt-ons dont make much power to speak of that will show up on a dyno........ I've got every bolt-on and a tune and I'm at 289 whp and 327 wtq
