Completely off topic.

Just a question for the lads that are right up to speed with tuning side of things.

Been working at an electrical supplier the last few weeks. There's a 4x4 mechanics next door with a dyno.

A few of the lads have taken there V8's there to be tuned. One had his L98 explode on the dyno, not tuners fault apparently.:ermm:

So the lad had to source a new motor, he came up with a brand new LS3 crate motor from holden. 15k in total to be back on the road again OUCH.!!!

He's my question.

Base line run would yield

235-240 rwkw's

Tuned it managed 328 rwkw's.

#OTR air intake

#Exhaust

#Tune only

The best I have seen from these engines with these mods is 285 -300 rwkw's

Where has this guru found an extra 28 rwkw's from..

I'm not convinced and is this lads engine running dangerously close to turning into a wreckers next purchase.

Yeh 300 is basically top figure for an LS3 without a cam or anything else

 

to pop a N/A you really have to be lean as a mofo and rattling the crap out of it timing wise

He hasnt. They dont make that much. Jet is on the money. They dont gain nearly 100rwkw. Maybe base run was 280rwkw.

 

Check this out. This is real world.

This is what I was thinking as well.

300 is the most I have seen.

I reckon the first time round on the hole in the block run was exactly what you were saying jetters.

Hmmm time will tell whether the lad ends up with another pile of spareparts motor.

I reckon the numbers are fudged.

Still 300 is nothing to laugh at and a pretty gun engine to boot.

 

The base run couldn't have been 280 unless it was a freak built engine that was sitting around at the Elizabeth plant collecting dust.

 

Cheers lads
