LETMotorsports DYNO RESULTS!!!! HEADERS MAKE POWER!!!
Well, i just got back from the dyno and am very excited!
the car put down 347rwhp and 352rwtq!!!!!
just to give you a reference, last two times i was at the dyno the car made 332rwhp and 342rwtq... i gained 15HP and 10TQ over the pulley with NO TUNING! see mods below....
the first time, the change was just the pulley, the second time was with the evo headers, car made the exact same power both times...previous to these two changes the best the car had made was 320rwhp and 308rwtq...
this is with only the LETMotorsports headers, LETMotorsports 185mm Pulley, LETMotorsports Cooling mods and a Renntech Stage 1 tune...stock exhaust with resonator removed...
i am going to get the ECU retuned with Evotech and will expect the car to make more power after this is done...

I would love to see the graph. Hopefully the power curve tells a better story. Lets be realistic, 15/10 could be anything. Same day, same dyno, same car, stock versus LET would be a better test. We regularly see cars drop/gain 30+hp, same mods, different days. I think we all want a more usable power curve. If they gain the same numbers all the way across the board, then that will be great.
For reference, what is the rest of the exhaust setup on your car?

I don't know many shops that have tested different headers on the same day, same car scenario. By the time you take 4 hours to remove the first set of headers and install the second set, parameters in the shop / dyno area would have changed...just as if you brought the car in the next day.
Considering this is the same dyno, car, setup (other than headers), I consider this test valid and LET's product a success.

First of all CONGRATS Erick.
you have no idea how much I love ehtusiats going after the so-called big guys and SHOWING better results
I to am curious about the whole curve picture. It seems to me that a 15/10 gain, across the board might have me jonesing for this mod, but if it was just on top, I might wait. Load up the dyno's when you can please, I would REALLY like to take a peak at them
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK MY FRIEND!!!
See yeah

it is impossible to do the same dyno, same day with the exact same conditions, it simply takes too long to change out the headers, i should know, i have done it enough times...it is not like changing a set of air filters
and my car has been consistant at the dyno, that is why i keep going back to the same dyno, i am actually dynoing my own car, they let me do this because they can not figure out how to dyno the car without making it downshift...
Exhaust was stated in the first thread, stock except resonator removed...
