Default Another great tune by agile automotive

Thanks again to everyone at agile for their hospitality and, of course the excellent tune. I had them previously >1 year ago tune my stage 2 setup (stock catback with bellmouth catless dp). I was and have been since incredibly happy with it (290 whp and 301 awtq). But, I got sick of the stink and the pollution, and decided to go with a catted tbe: helix catted dp with borla hush catback. Hill re-tuned me today and made 296 awhp and 324 awtq @19 psi (and i got well over 300 mi to the tank on the way home to VA beach..still have a 1/4 tank @ 280 miles on the tank). My baseline run with the old protune MAP and the new exhaust was ~ 276 awhp and 298 awtq. The power feels great, runs smoothly, etc. Thanks again.

edit: still no gas light and have 320+ miles on the tank (previously unheard of...even with nearly all interstate driving)

maybe a tiny bit slower, but before i was seeing 301 tq at 3500 rpm, now i'm seeing 310 at 3500 rpm with a max tq/spool @3900-4000. pulls like a beast.

I noticed last night that the numbers are Std and not SAE on the dyno graphs. That sucks (I think). I am waiting for Hill to get back to me re: my request for him to post the corrected #s. The air was approx. 50 degrees and it was drizzly. Hopefully the #s won't be much lower as SAE. Oh well, it feels good. I definitely recommend a cat for various reasons.

Thumbs up

talked to Hill and the SAE corrected was actually 298 and the torque is not supposed to be corrected and, i ended up with 26 miles per gallon on that tank (~90-95% interstate driving...mostly conservative)

I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying your new found power and that your fuel economy has improved so much. You were running very rich so I'm not surprised you're getting much better gas mileage. Keep having fun and let us know if you need anything.

The funny thing is that it's 2 more mpg than the max potential at which it is rated from the factory, with all the extra juice. Thanks again, Hill, Jeremy , Ben and everyone.
