I recently completed the ZZP Stage 3 upgrade and cant seem to notice any difference in power. It goes into full boost but it still doesnt feel like it should. Any suggestions.

 

Have you talked to ZZP about it?

What mods/tune did you have before?

 

Did you use the zzp canned tune or pcm? If so that could be part of the problem.

 

I didnt have any tune done but I had full exhaust header back and intake.

It was the "canned tune" I will have to get it tuned later but no one in omaha to do it reasonably the only is called sublime racing and I wouldnt let them touch my car after what they did to a friends.

 

woooo wooo wooo. u installed injectors, smaller puelly, and HE. you dont have a tune! thats your problem, your roding a car thats not suppose to do what u want it to do with out a tune. and your actually killing the thing. GET A TUNE!

just seen yor other post with that one. i was about to say how could it start with out some kinda a tune lol

 

You have to send the pcm to get it recalibrated which I did its a "canned" tune from zzp. It meant to run on the tune file thats there I just feel its not getting its full potential talkted to Tim @ zzp and the main this is my cheap intake Im going to pick up a new one and swap it out.

 

if he has a "canned tune", how does he not have a tune?
i know that it won't be a good tune, but he should notice a difference in power.

 

I guess I will have to take it out on the highway and floor it see what happens. ALthough I did notice that I was getting 40mpg this mornng driving it normally/

 

i really didnt see a huge improvment in mine. but i could tell something was diffrent. i really dont think a intake well add more power. mostly people just drop a K$N drop in filter in there stock intake and run it like that.

so have u gotten on it since u installed it? or have u been just puttin around

 

I just assumed that putting an extra 60hp to the wheels that I would feel something

 

60? no, more like 35 40ish....amybe 30 with a canned tune

 

how much psi are you seeing?

 

it all depends on what size a pulley he went with if he has a 2.9. wich im guessing. probely 14-15

 

i'm pretty sure in his other thread he said zzp stage 3..

 

Make sure you ic pump is working and that it is flowing good. Heatsoak starts to become an issue with pulleys under a 2.9". Try and get your car tuned in and you'll feel a difference. Maybe your expectations were a little too high. Good luck and make sure who ever is tuning your car, when the time comes, knows what they are doing (ie the tuning shop that f'd your buddys car up).

 

Your best bet would be to find someone with hptuners. I have tuned a few cars from the horribly flat state of Nebraska lol. I am actually going through that horrible state again on the 10th on my way to california to tune 5 other cars. If you are interested I could stop through on my way down there. I just take 80 west all the way to cali so you aren't far off my route at all =D. Let me know if you are interested.

You really should be feeling a decent power gain. Once you get a custom tune, you will be very happy with the cars power gain.

 

ZZP's Dyno sheet on a mustange chassis Dyno showed 249 without exhaust work and estimated 260 with it.

About 17 on a 2.8 Pulley

 

ZZP stage 3 doesnt automatically infer pulley size. It just nets you all the bigger cooling options. He can still run a 2.9 pulley with "stage 3".

 

I would be down with that What do you normally charge?
