The factory setup is for 6lbs. The headers will cost 1lb...I am already planning the pulley swap to a 2.9 (from the stock 3.3)which should plant me at 8-9 lbs

Yeah, the smaller the pulley the bigger the boost, I think that's how it goes. My roommate has a whipple supercharger in his F150 Lightning and he's getting like 15-20.....

Oh yeah, time to look into RSVPing for the Fall Fun for All!

Ok, new update (sorry mark)

My install is scheduled for Tuesday and dyno on Wednesday.

I am getting the LS9 injectors (60lb i think).

We are gonna load her up onto the dyno with the 3.3 pulley & do a pull, then swap to a 3.1 & do a pull and then finish up with a 2.9 for the final pull.

That should put me to 7-8lbs of boost and probably about 470rwhp.

Psh 470. Most GTOs with close to the same set up as me, that have the TVS 1900 wind up around 505 rwhp. :D

TVS1900 adds 120 with the stock pulley. The headers kill 1lb of boost.

I should of clarified, I dont think I am going to start out driving with the 2.9, I will probably go with a 3.1 in the beginning and work my way up.

With the 3.3 I should be at 460 and 2.9 I should be about 500. I really want one dyno pull with 500 on it. When I was last at Haddads my car dynod at 369. Then I added the ported intake. Now everyone at work says that his dyno STILL reads 20 rwhp high. Now the ultimate test will be to have my car redynoed at Haddads since that is where my other two were done.

Wow, yeah, I would go to Haddads to get it done. I may have to go one day too, just because I want to get it done. How much does he usually charge?

To dyno? I have no idea.

My first dyno was a raffle prize on the G8 cruise, the 2nd I paid for with the tune...

lame... Maybe if we both go he'll discount it? lol

How about next weekend.

I ran out of fuel injector... which is a great thing, but gotta wait til next week to put the LS9/ZR1 injectors in. maybe drop the pulley size at the same time to redyno tune.. and hit my goal.

it dynoed at 430 rwhp. 1/2 throttle roasts the tires now, with TC on... ugh.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTT! Nicely done! Track times will follow nicely!

  • Author

yup, im told with the LS9 injectors and a 3.1 pulley, anything slower than a 12.0 (with traction of course) is a disappointment.

:wub::rofl::wub::P awesome.

  • Author

Yup, I can help you haz one.

how about me for the 6 lol
