A little on the soft side. Stage 2? What pulley did it come with? Procharger stock tune? What fuel? Got a datalog of that pull?

Custom tune, E85, and 2018 intake manifold will add about 200 hp to that easily.

It’s custom tuned using an hp and the standard pulley what procharger sent with the kit.. 93 octane too. He did mentioned adding headers all the way back to breath better which I know but to see it that low is a bummer because I went px1. I think he went with a safe tune.

a local tuner?... still need to know pulley. They don't always send the exact same one. stage 2, or H.O.? Headers and catback will add slightly , but not what your looking for.

Dont get so caught up in the numbers. When I put a procharger on my 15 it made 495whp witch was/is super low. But the car felt great. Took it 3 days later to a diffrent shop 579whp. Didnt change a thing. Get to the track, get a slip. Use your butt dyno. Everyone gets so caught up with dynos it's a tool not end all be all.

It’s an ho px1. I need to go back to the shop and get the damn list and manual too. A little disappointed with the local tuner as well because he didn’t call me during the dyno pulls.

Yes thanks for reminding me again with that one about the numbers. My car still at the shop waiting for me to pick it up. I went and took a look and it does sound amazing too. I’ll test drive it on the way home tonight.

Looks like he only pulled to 6300 rpm, you likely could pickup 50 more at 7500. No reason why not to.

That’s why I wonder it was only on the 6k rpm. I know when I had my 12 dynoed @ a different shop a couple of years ago, he ran @ 7+ k rpm. Maybe he’s being cautious and wants me to buy more parts. Nonetheless, it looks bad ass!

I think he’s being cautious and limited my car potentials. I even went p1x because it’s a better upgrade smh. Or maybe, he’s trying to hook me buying more parts smh.

A lot of power left on the table. You really want to go with one of the reputable tuners on here that know these cars. An email tune from Lund or PBD will crush your "local tuner".

I might even consider that because I do have an sct x 4 laying around. It came off from my 12 manual gt and my car is an auto now.
