Never put the car back on the dynojet that I had my car on initially when I had it tuned by Lund.
I retuned the car with Ken Bjonnes of Palm Beach Dyno last year around january/february timeframe. I'm leaving the area soon so I decided to put the car back on the same rollers I had it on before.
The only change is the tune and I swapped oil pump and crank sprocket gears.
Same 93 octane, same setup.

The car with Lund made 696whp, palm beach shes sitting at 763 and she wants to keep going. I'm sure she'll peak around 8300 rpm if I got ballsy enough to keep going.
But overall, the difference in tunes again, I get better average around town mpg. I was averaging 13-14 with Lund, im now at 16-18 with Palm Beach.
The power is no longer a lightswitch at a certain point when accelerating. I've literally almost lost control of the car slightly accelerating on a cold road because the power just kicked in as I was merging. It comes on a lot more linear now and is much more manageable with Palm beach.
And last but not least, im making about 70whp over my previous tune.

Edit: This is on a 4" pulley that comes with the base 3.2 kit and im still running the stock dampener as well all on plain 93

That's the coolest dyno graph ever. She just wants to sing.. Over 500 torque at 8k from a 5.0l. lol

Sorry man, just being lazy I guess.
What I really want is track time, but I need more driveline bits to make it worth my while.

That is the flattest torque curve I've ever seen. Bet it's fun!

Ken's amazing man, glad I made the switch a while back.
Just now I have something tangible to go along with what I've been telling people.

I've never seen a graph that straight and clean before! Lol

Congrats man great numbers. You and Ken feel pretty safe revving the car that high? I only take my Whipple car to 7500ish and I have billet gears too.

A 70whp difference is quite a jump. That's pretty impressive stuff.

Impressive.. makes me scratch my head over here. That's for sure.
It's your kit.
Carl Messenger of Competition Auto in NC was impressed by the IAT2s.
He was always under the assumption KB's were toasters. It was a humid 70° morning, temps never climbed higher than 85 after each pull.

That plus Ken's magic in tuning = fun car
