View Full Version : PFC Installed - Power Data

I just installed my PFC with the new Monkeywrench I/E maps (he said timing was adjusted slightly. I monitored knock under all conditions - highest I got was 31. Pulls stronger and generally I use a higher gear now to manuever through traffic. I think there is more power to be made, so I definitely need to tune this with someone's assistance. At the moment I only have the Commander and it looks like the car accesses through row 11 on the load scale at the high RPMs.

Here are my results measured with my Gtech. I find the GTech to be very repeatable BTW. Here's the torque curves - pretty good midrange pick up I'd say:

and here's the HP curves:

Test conditions were about 74 degrees, flat road, runs done in opposite directions then averaged. I used the standard equations to correct for drag.

Other engine mods are a short air ram (custom) and Borla Exhaust

That's pretty cool. I wonder how accurate they are?

Edit: The baseline looks prety close to what it should be....nice gains in the midrange.

I'm hoping to get the car on a dyno soon, do a baseline run then tune it. It will be interesting to see how close the baseline dyno compares to the Gtech. My guess is it's damn close as the stock ECU curves look very close to typical stock ECU cars with intake & exhaust, and the PFC curves look close to some dynos that others have posted. We'll have to see.
