Just dyno’d the car after tune and downpipes

Just ran my 2016 GTS at a local dyno. I recently installed catless downpipes and a stage 2 tune from DTK performance. The dyno was a dyno dynamics brand dyno. The tech told me right off the start that his dyno is a “heartbreaker” and doesn’t give off huge number like an inertia based dyno like a dyno jet. After we got the car dialed in it made 527hp at the wheels. I’m pretty happy with it. Just wish the roads were warmer and drier here on the west coast of Canada! Spring is going to be fun.

Don't skheef over the numbers. Power delivery and smoothness are more to be valued. I know folks want a decent roi on the time and investment spent but sometimes you won't get that.
