February 4, 201214 yr #1 Recently I had my car tuned at a reputable tuner in Sydney my car consist of.2005 baAtomic valve springs, walbro pump, x-force s/steel dump + cat, removed middle muffler, avo cooler, rapid intake,60lbs injectorsNow the car is running 15psi consistently no spiking or anything.Final power when tuned was 306rwkw I paid $770 for the tune! & $770 to install the springs!I now take it for a check up at another shop and get told its pulling 259rwkw with alright afrs and low timing!!!! WTF Bid difference from initial dyno!Now I don't want to start a sh*t fight I know dynos are a tunning tool and quarter mile is where the numbers come out but really such a difference. Both dynos were dyno dynamics!I feel a bit ripped off! Also 15psi with those mods & only 259rwkw Please please anyone voice your opinion
February 4, 201214 yr #3 Author Nah! If anything it feels like it has more power then before! Car runs great.What could leak causing loss I power but still drive fine?
February 4, 201214 yr #4 Post up the dyno sheets. Edit out the workshop names if you want to avoid the sh*t fight..Something is not right. All been equal you wouldn't expect that big of a difference, maybe 10-15kw butover 40?Surely you'd feel the difference between 300+ and 260? If in fact there has been a loss!
February 4, 201214 yr #5 Author Will do!I will scan the dyno sheets and upload this arvo! First dyno with 306rwkw only has the power and trouqe curve!Second dyno has power vs boost! Car feels the same but don't know how there is such a huge difference in power between the two dynos! All I could think was $4000 spent for 259rwkw & 15psi :(
February 4, 201214 yr #6 Another option is go back to original workshop, show them the latest results. A good workshop would surely want to investigate and check their tune for themselves.
