(Edit Forgot to add this is on 93 Octane gas)

Is this with just pump gas? 91 or 93 octane? E30 mix?

93 octane

Very impressive numbers !

Interesting to see whp and wtq so close in numbers. Usually the tuning/piggyback options seem to favour wtq gains.

I have a RaceChip as well, but I've never hopped on a dyno. How long have you had yours - still enjoying it?

 

[StingerMG]

I absolutely love it, I may have killed same Scat packs in Mexico. I forgot when I exactly added the racechip but it was late April this year. So far everything has been perfect with the car, zero hiccups. The only thing I do differently since adding the racechip is getting the oil changed every 3000 miles and letting the engine oil warm up to at least 150 degrees Fahrenheit before driving.

Nice, good to hear.

At this point, with those numbers, the next 'bang-for-your-buck' performance mod would likely be one of the TCU tunes out there. Your Stinger would be a rocket!

 

[StingerMG]

I'm still on the fence about the TCU tune, since this is my daily driver. Currently, I'm looking at the Takeda enclosed intakes. Paired with the ram air snorkels, they should perform excellently. Currently, the stock airbox is lacking volume so my low-speed throttle response >30mph isn't the best, until air really gets rammed in, then it pulls like a train.

Oh, I misread - thought you had intakes already. How have the snorkels been, easy install?

 

[StingerMG]

No problem. The snorkels are simple. You just need to pop the front bumper off. It's your choice if you want to remove the radiator shroud, I did. Functionally, the snorkels help open up the top end of the car because the factory air ducts are very restrictive in how much air can flow through. The snorkels don't suck in rainwater so no need to worry about rainy driving.

I'll have to look into that at some point, thanks! The Takeda intake looks good; I noticed a big difference, personally, when I had my AEM intakes installed.

 

[StingerMG]

Anytime! The snorkels I have are no longer being made but the Velossa Tech ones install and work the same. Once I have the intakes, I'll be most likely done with the performance mods. 444whp is like 520+bhp. Even if the new intakes don't yield me any more power, the better throttle response is worth it in my book.

Nice results. I have Racechip GTS also. No dyno though. No problems either.
Have you hit the drag strip for times yet?

When you Dyno the car is there any chance they can look at how the car is running functional wise ? I know you have not had problems but is there anyway you can see what the car is actually doing ?

No, I haven't hit the strip yet. That's on my list of things to do eventually.

Not at the dyno, I've been talking about may be buying an ODB2 logger that sends data to my phone via Bluetooth. There is a local shop I go to often that specializes in high-performance cars. (JDM, Stingers, muscle cars) Next time I go there, I'll ask the guys to pull the ODB2 logs and check them out.

Sounds good . Looking forward to hearing the results .
