The power difference over stock is awesome, get ready for lots of rolling 2nd gear burnouts. I took a buddy from work out for a ride the other day who said he wanted to "see a burnout" so I went WOT at about 2K in 2nd, tires spun up in smoke all the way to redline. He about deuced his pants. Gotta love that burnt rubber smell!

It's my only mod and the car runs amazing and already has more power than I'll ever need, 300+HP and 350+TQ is plenty for a FWD daily driver! (Although I still give props to all you crazy asses out there who seem to need more )

Yeah, getting my DP on thursday in the mail. Did a muffler delete.

Planning on getting the 23PSI tune, but waiting for my dad to decide what he wants for his denali as we are ordering the tunes together to get a deal.

DP+NO MUFFLER+23PSI

Hoping for 290HP, 320TQ++ for $600 invested.

(I agree with 007G5GT... should be plenty fast for a daily driver L_L lol)

we might be having another tuning meet at synapse where you can get some dyno pulls in too. see if you can hold your water for a little while longer until we figure it all out

Burn outs are that easy when you get tuned? I have barely gotten my wheels to spin, but im stock still...

For sure, the only times the tires ever spun in 2nd when I was stock was just a chirp if I took 1st to redline and did a quick shift to 2nd with the pedal floored.

Now that it's tuned, you can be at nearly any RPM in 2nd gear and if you go WOT the tires are spinnin (on the stock Conti's anyway). I spike to 23PSI in 2nd and hold 22. It spikes to 24PSI in 3rd and holds 23, a quick shift at WOT from 2nd to 3rd will even get you a few chirps in 3rd!

And like I said, the 2nd gear burnouts are addicting, I can't stop doing them. It will be time for new tires very soon!

You won't be dissapointed...they spin and you get wheel hop big time. Get the OTTP rotated mounts to help. I got stage 1 (for less vibes), but stage 2 will reduce the hop more.

I've had my eyes on those mounts. My friend down here got them and is getting them installed soon. Cant wait to see how it feels on his car before I pull that trigger, but it will be after downpipe tune and intercooler. need to put the power down somehow right? lol

BYT tunes more aggressively than Vince, so you'll get a little more power from BYT, but I remember a race that went on a year or so ago where BYT was surprised by a Trifecta-tuned car.
