Box stock T. Member 1,384 Member For: 9y 10m 3d Posted 12/05/18 08:16 AM Share Posted 12/05/18 08:16 AM Completely off topic. Just a question for the lads that are right up to speed with tuning side of things. Been working at an electrical supplier the last few weeks. There's a 4x4 mechanics next door with a dyno. A few of the lads have taken there V8's there to be tuned. One had his L98 explode on the dyno, not tuners fault apparently. So the lad had to source a new motor, he came up with a brand new LS3 crate motor from holden. 15k in total to be back on the road again OUCH.!!! He's my question. Base line run would yield 235-240 rwkw's Tuned it managed 328 rwkw's. #OTR air intake #Exhaust #Tune only The best I have seen from these engines with these mods is 285 -300 rwkw's Where has this guru found an extra 28 rwkw's from.. I'm not convinced and is this lads engine running dangerously close to turning into a wreckers next purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe base run was 280rwkw. Check this out.

I reckon the first time round on the hole in the block run was exactly what you were saying jetters. Hmmm time will tell whether the lad ends up with another pile of spareparts motor. I reckon the numbers are fudged. Still 300 is nothing to laugh at and a pretty gun engine to boot. The base run couldn't have been 280 unless it was a freak built engine that was sitting around at the Elizabeth plant collecting dust. Cheers lads Edited 12/05/18 09:48 AM by Box stock T.

Its the gain that matters, not the numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
