Holy crap! Nice dyno after the AEM and high-boost. That is impressive. You must be thrilled. How does it feel?
 
Thanks for posting.
Those are very nice results, you did have a lot of work put into that car. Especially the jump from 312 to 380 RWHP must have been a good feeling :smile:
Any more picture of your car ?

The difference between 312 rwhp and 380 rwhp is night and day. I find myself exiting the freeway and re-entering so I can repeatedly experience the thrill of the 30-90 mph acceleration :eek:

Awesome. What did it cost approximately to go from 312 to 380?

Parts = $2,776

Labor = $1440 (including dyno tuning)

TOTAL = $4,216 ($62 for each additional rwhp)

The thrill of 380 rwhp as you stomp on the gas pedal = PRICELESS :tongue:

Did you do a dyno with just high-boost and without AEM+injectors? I'm getting similar 6lb CTSC numbers as you, and wondering if it's worth it to just go 9lb, or go all out with AEM as well. I'd LOVE to be able to get to 380rwhp! Very nice! Thanks for posting the dyno's, very helpful!
 
We did not perform an dyno after the supercharger upgrade (prior to AEM installation and tuning). You may wish to speak with Shane at Autowave to get an idea of the relative contributions of the high boost SC kit vs. the AEM engine management system.

I say go for it!!! That car is crazy fast...

Hehe, I know.. it's just that minor thing called $$$ :D

My understanding is that 9lb by itself should give me an additional 20rwhp. At the same time, I find it hard to believe that AEM+injectors+pump could take Tom's car from ~332 to 380! If that's the case, I'm wondering what kind of delta I'll see if I just go AEM without hi-boost. Decisions, decisions. I think I'll wait til after I pull the car out this spring and see how I feel about it first. I was planning on putting some money into other aspects of the car after dumping so much into the SC (ie stereo/nav, alarm, boomerang etc) . I need to talk to Shane@Autowave or Devin@Payn to get some idea of what I can expect with the different options.

BTW Tom, in case I didn't mention it earlier, your car looks fantabulous! VERY classy -- very nicely done. I feel like a lot of widebody's are over the top, but yours preserves all the right lines and pulls it off, especially with that wicked colour combo! :D
 
All of the picture links were lost so I am adding back the dyno sheets referenced in the first thread:
