Didnt you make close to 260 whp 260 wrtq on that dyno with the stock tune? Some of the 09s have different timing and cam settings then the 08s and I have seen a few 09s make more power stock than the 08s. Tuned they all make about the same usually.

 

I make 251WHP/259WTQ stock.
(It was also just after I flashed back to stock, so It may have not learned down.)

 

Meh, if you did 3 pulls it will relearn the stock airloads. It takes 2-3 to fully relearn. 1st pull was probably the highest though especially on the stock IC and 95* temps. I would definately invest in a good IC my IAT2s never rise above ambient temps even with my old SRI on there sucking in 140+* air. Good IC makes a 40-50* difference in your IAT2 s if you drive hard for more than a few seconds.

 

drew have you talked to superchips about when the 93 tune is coming out?? i wanna see numbers for that

 

How come you went with a different tune besides the superchips?

 

Because they are better

 

Im thinking of going with them because there is no one around here that i would trust to tune my car. If i lived in the states or out west that would be fine.

 

Well, yeah thats an okay reason. If you don't have a competent tuner in your area they seem to be a good option!

 

exactly, would like to have a good custom tune tho....lol

 

Nah I don't really see a point in doing it, I will be heading to arizona on saturday, land of nothing higher than 91 OCT.

I am keeping the SC tune, I am just seeing if a local can improve on the SC tune, and make use of my Intake/cat removal.

 

lol...thats all we have here in canada is 91 octane

 

Most are better, I am just trying to get the most out of a 91 tune. My goal is 300WHP on 91 Oct and 320 Ftlbs

 

i would be more than happy with that

 

My goal is 360 and 400 ft/lbs on the stock turbo

With my newest numbers I'm not too far off

 

wow.....thats insane

 

yeah, I went to the dyno about a week ago and got the newest numbers...

 

I finally got my flashpaq and I'm impressed to say the least. Very simple to use and the power is great!

 

I got my SC cortex on July 3rd. It made a difference but I might sell it and get trifecta or something so I can get a little more power. There's no one close to me that has HP tuners (that I know of anyways ).

 

it will only work on your car now by the way..... its mated...

 

From everything I read is that when you return your car back to the stock setting it removes the VIN from its memory letting it be used on another. If you look at the return policy it states that on the superchips website.

 

I just flashed my HHR SS with the cortex quick tune, wow what a difference. Went from 15psi to 22psi, I had a slow poke in an old ford ranger in front of me doing 20mph, i wanted to test the tune so i passed him and as soon as i hit the gas the tires started squealing and it scared the old man in the truck lol. i had to let off it to get traction again. it was $318 well spent. i will get into the advanced tune and adjust the shifts and the redline a little more.

 

Yeah, I went to 22psi as well, I agree with you 100%, worth every penny.

 

Hmmmm this is a good idea, for those goign to another tune. Good luck with the trifecta if you go that route.

 

Yeah, there's no need for that. These engines seem to lose power pretty hard after about 6300 anyways...this little turbo just runs out of steam on these long ass gears. I will be heading up to the track again tonight to see if I can improve on my times. I know for sure I can squeeze some more time out of this tune (on the shittiest most un-prepped track in the world). I'm going to try shifting right at 6k because that seems to be where everyone's power starts to fall off. Hopefully I don't break this thing again.

 

I never could find a true answer to a question I was wondering about for the SuperChips. Does our cars increase in power by adding bolt ons like cat back exhaust, SRI, or boost tubes with the 91 oct tune? I've read in a few places that it does and read that it doesn't. Anyone have any figures or experience on this?

So far my car is stock other than the cortex. I am thinking about changing the hot tubing or adding a intake and don't want to be doing harm instead of good.
