Malcolm - blue printing that M-112

Had a guy ask me just how much you gained with that and what other mods you have to reach where you are at now on the dyno. I know you had it true dyno tuned.

Porting the blower is supposed to be good for some 50 rwhp but I did it at the same time as a pulley swap so I don't know how much just the blower porting did.
I have quite a bit done to my car, it's a hobby what can I say lol. I think the only real power making mods though are ported blower, pulley, CAI, X-pipe with high flow cats (two instead of factory four), borla stingers (straight through flowing exhaust) and of course a tune.

I have lower than stock compression too as I plan to put a twin screw on it some day so I'm running 8.15:1 instead of the stock 8.5:1 so that hurts power some right now.

I also have a much larger than stock intercooler for the blower too in the front bumper but I think that just helps keep temps down more than it does make more power when everything is already cool.
All other mods are just supporting such as cooler heat range plugs, fuel pumps and entire fuel setup, mass air, slightly lower t-stat too. I think factory was 185F and I have a 170F but car runs around 180F all the time with it except in winter when it's 30F out but I don't really drive it at all in winter.

What did you end up getting on the dyno?

Don't have final numbers. At one point it was 487 hp and 495 ft/lbs at the wheels but we did a lot more tuning after that. My tuner is in NC and I'm in MO so he adjusts the tune remotely via email. I did 99% of the tuning on the street making pulls and data logging. Once we thought it was close I booked some dyno time and made some pulls there and data logged it. Emailed them to my tuner the logs and he said it was still rich and what ever. He fine tuned it some more and said it should be over 500 hp to the wheels now but I haven't been back to the dyno for an exact number. My butt meter says it's plenty fast Out runs my buddies 2011 GT 500 with SVT performance package with 3:73 gears so I'm happy

Hey Dave, I found a vid for you and just uploaded to youtube so you can check it out. It's me and my two buddies. I'm the bright yellow of course. This was from a few weeks ago.
