Hi guys. I just got a tune done on my VE V6 Commodore 2009 3.0l international SIDI 6 speed automatic.
Firstly, I don’t want smartass answers, or v8 owners going on about how their extra 2 cylinders suddenly make them have the biggest dick in the world, if I could legally drive a v8 I would.
Now that, that’s out of the way I can get to my serious question.
I will attach my tune result from the computer in store, and I need a bit of help. See the thing is, being in the car I feel as tho I have gained a small bit of power and the car certainly runs better, but I did a bit of research to see what my car came with stock in terms of hp. My car (apparently) comes with over 200hp which I’m sure is at the engine, right? Well the attached image says 156hp (at the wheels). Now the dyno tuner has told me you lose about 30% through the drivetrain, he also told me the attached image is at the wheels not at the engine hp. Me not knowing much about tuning, I may have been ripped off, but luckily for me and this community, there is a wonderful community here that helps out. My question is, is the attached images results correct? Or was it basically a **** tune?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
