Tune results after first mods So I had my exhaust system put on, and had my first official tune (since I owned the car)
My results are in my signature. Are these numbers roughly what you would expect from the mods I have, which aren't many?
Max torque was achieved at 4500 rpm, max rwhp was achieved at 5500 rpm.
Air/Fuel mix is a steady 13 all the way through the rpm range.
**EDIT**
Results after first mods:
HP: 338 rwhp
Max Torque: 350

sounds about right. get yourself an ls6 or fast intake and let your engine breath better. that will give you a nice boost in power.
seafoam you engine, get new plugs and wires, and clean/get a new air filter. that can yield some more hp as well

Thanks guys, just wanted to make sure I have a good base to work on and nothign was out of whack.
I did get new NKG plugs as part of the tune.
I'll be doing the LS6 intake and a bigger throttle body to go with it as my next mod in a few months.

About 4 hp between open and closed. I have my electric QTP cutout where the plates go in the adjustable Borla system. Maybe get more HP if it was farther forward perhaps, but there is not much clearance for the electric motor/cut out pipe...
Now decibels on the other hand between open and closed....
I think having the cut out open will make me save gas because you tend to shift at lower RPM's if you are in traffic and want to keep the noise down from any under cover cops... Not sure if I would get pulled over, Harley motorcycles are louder in normal driving situations... Open cut out is definately loud (in a very sexy way) when accelerating hard...

Lol, I put the engine HP in for comparison to the rwhp to see if the numbers I was given by the tuner were about right after the tuning... guess it would have made more sense to just type it in the message, but I was lazy and put it all in the signature to save a step. I'll remove that to avoid the ricer (yuck!!!) comparison!!!
As for debafflign the RAM air, yeah I took out the stock WS6 air lid and baffles and put the SLP lid on. I did not seal it as you noted BlueKnight, does any weatherstripping work, or is there a good one in particular which will not rip off easily?

I always wondered why the top scoops were blocked... So no risk in opening them up? Just remove some screws in there? (It's 1am, so I'll look tomorrow at how they are held in place)
Thanks for the tip.

What's the risk with rain with debaffled ws6 hood? It's a daily driver and it does see rain, so what are the chances of harm because of it?

I think there are rivets holding it on, that's what I heard. When I bought the car it was already de baffled. I have had my car for almost a year and a half. I have gone through light to medium rain and snow as well. The only thing I wouldn't do is drive through a storm where its just dumping rain like in florida or something.
I have another tip for you. Don't make a ******* thread that has results in your sig.
I can't stand when I'm looking for something and find a whole thread about it, only to find that the answer I wanted was in somebody's sig that is now different because they've done more mods or changed setups.
If you've got results or comments post it in the god damn post. Not your sig. Thanks.

But yeah op post the results here so that this thread isn't pointless when your sig changes.
