You arent paying for typing a single digit, you're paying for not bricking your PCM and being in a world of hurt over warranty concerns when you have to tow it to the dealer for them to fix. And the typical dealer response will be "bad PCM" which they will order a new one and need to bench...
I tuned one of these the other day on E85. It was street tuning so no dyno numbers, but man it felt stronger up top. From 7k+. I had to put some mean in the mid range to try and offset the tq loss folks report with these - which I could feel butt dyno. But once I beefed it up, it was good...
You’ve disappeared up your own rear end my friend. I’m proud of you though for getting that masters degree that I assume you have framed hanging on your wall. Let me know when you get that job at ford motor company in their technical R&D department. Maybe you can teach them a thing or two...
Your napkin math might make sense to you, but you forget that these open box intakes generally seal to the hood. Which is basically an upside down hot plate. Its as hot as the outside air, and then some. So the top of your sealed enclosure has a hot plate lid super heating the air before it...
Generally we see 40-60hp to the wheels gains. More broken in cars tend to make on the high side. But 40-50 is safe to assume for a stock gen4 5.0 om e85 tune only.
This couldn't be further from the truth. Tuning is the single largest means of gaining HP over stock for any NA coyote. The trans part of your comment is true though.
For a quick note on this - E85 tuning for a stock coyote will net you 50-60 hp to the wheels over stock. Sprinkle in some...
I had a guy I tuned a few weeks ago. We did back to back WOT logs with the corsa intake vs stock intakes (carbon traps out), at speed 2-3-4-5 gear WOT pulls, the stock ones flowed a bit better/more measured air across the maf in Lbs/min and the IATs were almost 20*F less. This was on a 24...
You havent spent much time on the corvette forums. If you want to argue, go there. You'll have a crowd of retired blue hairs willing to argue with you for months.
You tell me if you think forged connecting rods do anything over the standard rods on the GT at just about any power level. But again, you keep ignoring the facts that they are unnecessary for adding power with the coyote for the last decade of models.
Please tell me why an engine that makes...
Well, for one, you get a better engine for the price tag.
Wrong, its the same engine. Forged connecting rods do not change anything. As I said before you arent seeing any coyote engine going back to gen2 bending rods at 1k hp. So this is a wash either way - but continue to ignore this since...
To the contrary. You find out real fast that the DH is a GT with stickers and a higher price tag. Especially when they make 1:1 the same power as a base GT both with tuning. Thats where it starts to sink in that Ford literally sold you a bill of goods, and just watered down the DH less than...
Brother I've own 4 S650 GTs at this point including a DH. All for tuning developement.
You act like some salesman hit some homerun selling me a bunch of cars like I was some sap off the street. These GTs and DH I have/had were all to build tunes and for marketing on social media and Ive made...
