Too bad you can't tune the 2.5L DOHC N/A motor. Cobb can't tune it either, though...

I'd like to see what kind of HP gains could be had by a proper tune on that motor.

You can tune a NA 2.5, I think Ed has done one in the past...

Yep it depends on the year. Some are accessible, others are not. The gains are not all that big either way. You'd be looking at a 4-5hp gain with better drivability.

Thanks

That's what I thought, I can recall that we have talked about this in the past that for the 2.5 na engines it's more about a smooth well rounded car then it is dyno numbers.

Speaking of the dyno, when will it be up and running?

Nope doesn't translate that way. If that was the case we'd just multiply liter bike motors X desired displacement.

Sure it does... 5.0l with a couple turbos should have no problem making 600hp

A lot of peeps keep mentioning the 100 Wet Shot. Keep in mind, the Dyno numbers were without the NOS, but the track numbers were with it.

Different styles of cars for different reasons.

^ Regardless its great power for being na, When STS comes out with turbo kit it will have well over 550whp.

I think the second dyno run was with the 100 shot.
