How noticeable is 30whp?

Thanks! Hoping to be 180+ when all is said and done but I don't have a dyno in my area so won't have numbers to post. It's gotta hold me over while I save for my Innovative SC lol

That's doable on 93!

Thanks for all of the comments - looks like I'll have to start saving my pennies.

I honestly think the best bang for the buck would be and inexpensive catless header and a good E85 tune... that combination would get you lots of torque in the daily driving area plus a good 30 whp out the top.

If ecutek is too rich for your blood ask a few of the bigger names to do you a brzedit tune, that should be a few hundred cheaper when it's all said and done.

I had to specify good tune, because there are some shite ones out there

E85 is good for at least 10ftlb almost everywhere and 15whp up top over fully tuned 93 pump with a few bolt ons (stock header). See my tune results, and keep in mind i left some on the table.

Was that on 93 oct? I'd do flex fuel but also don't have e85 readily available. So until that changes I'm stuck on cali 91 lol it's really gonna hurt my sc gains as well unless I go water/meth which is just more money I need >.<

Except the a/c compressor on most modern cars disengages as soon as you go above about 2/3 throttle, because the ECM assumes you want maximum power.

Really, nice did not know that!

If your A/C compressor uses 20HP you need to replace it. Now.
