I got my car dynoed today @ HBspeed in SoCal to get a baseline reading:

204.5hp
137.4 Tq

Ap1 w/ 102k on it. Only mods are ugraded valvetrain (Supertech Stainless Steel Valves, Dual Valve Springs, Ti Retainers, and APR Head Studs)

I was really happy with the results giving its age/milage!
Does anyone know if HBspeed's DYNOmite test reads high?

I also did a compression test and it reads 180 across the board!

My question is:

Will i produce good numbers with the greddy kit having lower compression?
I know lower compression is good for boosting but isn't the greddy kit designed for higher compression (225ish)?

How will the kit function with my compression? ( I'm looking to be around 300whp)

Thanks in advance!

 

You are confusing compression ratio, with lost compression capability.


The higher the compression ratio, the less forgiving your tune can be on the engine. Higher compression ALWAYS means more power, but its not as safe, and the only way to add more boost is to run higher octane via race gas, or meth injection.

However, your car will be fine if you turbo it, and 300whp isnt out of the question with that kit.

 

Don't lower your compression to get 300 whp. You will be fine on the Greddy without having to do that.
