Default Car dyno update with inline KIT

Hey guys,

Just did my dyno today with the help of RaceLab, Ramon and Angel Tunning tuning the car. What a great experience working with techs who knows his stuff. Running 9 pounds of boost, we were able to sqeeze out 345hp with 245tq running 9psi on stock exhaust. I was anticipating lower numbers since i was using the stock exhaust plus my friend which I bought the kit from ran at 328hp with a 3" exhaust on the same dyno. But as the results show, I gained some nice HP..

We did 16 runs and the a/f was around 11.2-11.7 through out the power band at wide open throttle.

Car ran fine with the stock retainers and stock oil jet bolts so I was stressing for no reason..

Thanks again guys for helping me out with this. Im sure we will be in business again for future modificaitons.

$300 is pretty expensive. It's not a big big job you just need the right tools. Call around before you get it done.

I called the same place which is in the process of tuning the car. Think they are calle racelab, its a new place.

I normally go to lexus since my step dad works there but they are slammed and he said they cant squeeze me in for like 3 weeks. So I dont mind paying for the job aslong as someone can do good and fast. Would hate to wait 3 weeks before getting it on a dyno.

I think there is a honda place on bird and like 79th Ill try to call. Think they are called honda tech or something.

I recommend the guy who did my head replacement. If you just need the valves changed out and can afford a little down time then pm me and I'll put you in contact with him. Should be a good bit less than $300

Well it depends on how much downtime. Ill PM you for the details.

Yes its Angel and Ramon. I told them it wasnt the whole job but just the intake side and they gave me that price. I read online in other areas in the states it should be around 150-250.
