Dewaine Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hey, Ok heres the deal. I had a Radix intercooled SC installed along with Dyantech long tubes, corsa exhaust, a volant CAI, a trailblaze torque converter, and a zippy performance shift kit, and a 160 stat. I had a custom tune put on immediately after the install, and here are my numbers... 352 HP and 419 max torque! Whats the deal here? Shouldnt I be making more?

fordsareslow Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 What size pulley do you have on it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliChevyV8 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Well if I'm makin 300HP without a radix, headers, torque converter orrrr a shift kit...You should probably be makin more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewaine Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I still have the 3.3 on there right now, but i have a 2.9 and was just gonna wait a little bit to put it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnblwzd Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) That doesn't sound right for that setup. It's possible that a lot of K-R due to overly aggresive timing of a mail order tune could cause the numbers to be low, which is what happened to me the first time around w/a PCM4Less tune. Plus if it's hot in FL, or gas is crappy (like here in CA) this could also factor in. When I noticed power dropping in the first few days after installing the Radix with my mail order tune, I went for an in person logging and tune. We found lots of KR in the upper RPMs that required richening up to eliminate, and made a big difference in power Edited August 31, 2006 by pnblwzd (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurbochargedBerserker Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Who did the tune? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 need more info on the dyno as well. What RPM did you go to, what gear, converter locked, what kind of dyno etc. Either way, that is low IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewaine Posted September 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I had it done at a shop in Mobile,Al called RWTD or Runnin with the Devil. I was not in town when the shop tuned it, my dad was the one and he doesnt know anything about this kind of stuff. The shop said the superchips tuner that came with it made 340hp to the wheels and they say they could only get it up anouther 10hp? It just didnt seem right so im going to try and take it to a different shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you find someone who has some FI experience and get another dyno tune imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Got a copy of the dyno sheet? Maybe its really fat? Also ask for a copy of the logged runs to see if its gettin knock retard and how much total timing it has at WOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holty Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 not sure by your post so i'll ask,....did you do the install of the radix? at this point with the info you have/provided to us, it could be a MILLION different things causing your LOW dyno numbers.
