Dyno day

Hey just took it off the dyno, im a little dissapointed, 330 hp and 360 tq @ 5400 rpm. Started breaking up after that. Going to try more meth and new plugs. Ill try again in a week or two. Not bad for 2000 from redline!

My chin is all smashed in too. I don't think the previous owner was very good at avoiding parking curbs.

Haha yeah the front end is surprisingly long.

No GMS1 yet, but it's on the list. So far my only mod was a new GMPP intake that I picked up for free.

To my knowledge none of the Kappa's have launch control. Mine is just a stock '08 GXP with monsoon sound, XM, and the premium headliner.
