Well that is easy, I ran into some money and was working 30 yrs running a railroad company with my brother so most of my life I had to drive company cars which were Ford Explorers, etc and last was a Toyota Venza. Well had to go on disability and thought I want a sportier car for myself for once in my life. Motor trend had just named 2016 Camaro car of the year as did others. I liked new look and traded in my Venza and payed rest in cash too have no payment. I cant remember exactly but when all said and done, taxes, title, fees, extended warranty I was at like $38,000! A lot of darn money and was ecstatic with the V6, still pretty feisty and the SS sticker price was around another 10 to 12 thousand more at the time!!! I was in love with my shiny new Camaro, lots of looks. After four years I thought of supercharger at times but not seriously, but had saved enough that 7,500.00 wasn't going to break me so I jumped in, not a racer at all. Like a pool table, may not always play alot but nice to have when you want too. A hobby to just add stuff too it.



On Mustang Dynamometer at WeaponX Motorsports, here are the numbers,


1st pull - 8/3/20 stock with CAI and muffler delete - 253 TQ 304 RWHP 5th gear base pull


2nd pull - 8/7/20 Procharger, they custom tuned it 336 TQ 433 RWHP


Note: I thought first stock pull would be more around 270's considering drive train loss but he told me having a CAI and Muffler delete probably added 30+ gain...He don't care much about crank hp because its just a guess and varies so much but if forced into a opinion, he said HP at crank engine would be atleast 500+ hp! It made a monstrous difference. I am plenty happy with it.
1. IT really sounds impressive. I have a hard time understanding why the difference in HP and torque is so great on the V6 when you add FI. Maybe it has something to do with the A8? Im thinking that twin turbos will have a better torque to HP ratio, but I could be wrong...
2. Did they give you a dyno sheet so that you can see exactly where the powerband is?
3. Im still hoping you can tell us anything about what they used to tune the car.

I don't have the dyno I accidently pitched it, could probably get, it but that is about all was on there. I got these numbers from what I text my son day after. I'm not a gear head and really don't know what program they used but had it on there several hours as per he said is about normal to get it right. Haven't tried 0 to 60 on car but imagine should be about a SS but doesn't have launch control which I don't know would make difference. Think it is lighter than a SS though but I did put 275 wider tires on back few yrs back.

Thanks, I will shoot them an email and see if I can find out what they use!

Muffler delete and CAI will not give you anywhere near 30 plus hp. Sorry but your tuner is kind of an idiot lol. Maybe 10-15 hp at best. Regardless of the dyno numbers it's definitely a very nice gain. Try taking it to track, and the trap speed will accurately reflect your true power

Not interested in taking it to the track. Doesn't interest me at all. I'm not 20 anymore.

His statement about 30 plus horsepower from a muffler delete and CAI is completely and totally wrong. Pretty much anyone on here can tell you that. I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, I'm just trying to give you honest facts.

I didn't think so either, always read for yrs its practically nothing. He text me that cuz of the higher than normal stock of 309, should of been 270 or so I kind of asked him why and he just told me maybe that. Who knows but main number is 433rwhp baby!!!!!

Yes regardless of the numbers, 130 rwhp is a awesome gain. You'll surprise some unsuspecting cars for sure. Also just to give you an idea, when I did an axle back and CAI, my 0-60 times didn't change one bit. That's also using the same stretch of road, and in very similar conditions
