What the tune cost you if you don't mind me asking? How does that compare to Impulses figures

The tune was $990 which is the standard price everywhere I believe.
Impulse has well and truly got me covered as he achieved approx 176rwkw, however he does have extractors and high-flow cats. But I still dont think a 35kw difference should be there. I may have also lost a little on the dyno because of my 20's, maybe 3-5kw, but I believe my car is lacking somewhere.

where did impulse get his tune? i know Hi-Torque's Dyno reads lower than the other 3 mine has been on. my ss was only 192kw on there dyno befor the tune and i know on the 3 different dyno's i was over the 200kw mark

yeah the 20's drop maybe 10hp off. just remember that most dyno's read different and that they are a tuning tool. get it out the track and c what it does down the 1/4. i took mine out sunday but couldnt get a time since i burnt out my clutch

Impulse had his done at Hi-Torque as well thats the only reason its got me thinking but extractors n cats would make a fair difference. Yeah I was thinking somewhere along the lines of 7-8hp with the 20's so thats about 147rwkw.
Yeah I think I would like to get out to the track at some stage. Might have to make my way out there one day. Let me know next time youre going Trent, would be good to head out with ya

Yea our graphs are quite different. The thing that does seem weird is how mine is so inconsistent through the power, for both the stock and the post-tuned runs.
I basically only ever use octane 98
But yea different editions is another good point, however I wouldnt have thought it would be a drastic difference. Would be interesting to have known what yours may have ran with the same mods as mine
