o.k heres the problom, in 2002 i got my car dynoed at stillen open house and got hp.173 and tq.176 with a 2000 max auto with wolf intake and high flow cat.Since then i have added cattman header,ud pulley,grounding wires,warpspeed b pipe and i just dynoed again at stillen and got hp.172 and tg.189.The car seems to run fine no error codes i use 91 gas. Everyone who dynoed b4 and after me got good numbers.I want to change the intake to injen,but im alittle lost as to why i dont have bigger hp. numbers.

 

Your VI is not operating properly. Check the 5th gen forum for more details.

 

can you post the graphs? and did they provide a/f readings?

 

Yeah, 3yrs a lot of crap could have happened.

Get the graph and we might be able to see something....

 

eeek at first I thought this was another Stealin Header thread... BTW what ever happened to them?

 

still selling them in their catalogs with a acclaimed gain of 15hp

arthur: take a look at the dyno chart and see how the graph looks like

 

Whats up Arthur, I got the pics & videos of the dyno you ran. I'm gonna E-mail them to The Wizard & he's gonna host them. Keep checking the West Coast Forum under "Stillen Open House Pics" Thread.

 

I cant post dyno, but the hp shoot up at 3800 rpm dip a little then slowly rise. At 3800 rpm I got 140hp then peaks at 6100 rpm at 172 hp

 

i would find someone to email it to so they can post it. that would be the only way to follow the graph.

I checked the vi and it moves at 5k rpm. I want to pull the plugges and ckeck them out next.

 

You can still have a problem with the VI, even if outwardly it looks like it is functioning normally. The problem is due to looseness in the internal mechanism that results in less than full opening of the power valve when the VIAS is actuated.

 

don't you have to check the little rotator cup to see if that is broken or not? Thats how i checked mine so just wanted to make sure i did it right

 

how much did stillen charge you? did they tune for you? dynojet???

 

They were charging $50 for 3 runs & no tuning.

 

would you happen to know how much they charge with? i dont really want to call... but 50 bucks is less than average for around here........

 

It was only $50 bucks for "Stillen Open House" day. It was a discount just for that day. I'm not sure what there normal price is.

 

did they use a dynojet do you know?

 

well i checked the back 3 plugs and they look o.k.but i have a injen on the way and i think thats the problom.The jim wolf intake does not move the air intake sensor. So the air temp. is differant then what really does come in, and thats why when i got smogged it was rich. It all makes sence now

 

Air temp sensor does not affect the way the car runs, it is for diagnostic purposes only, so thats not it.

 

you are just wasting your money on the injen intake. It looks good but does nothing for performance.
