Another Dyno tune for Vortech Tahoe
#1
It seems a little slow so I thought Id get some opinions as to what I should be looking for and what adjustments should be made.
My first dyno showed and unimpressive 278 rwhp showing 5.5#
Second showed 309 rwhp with a little lower temp and modded airbox now showing 7#
My new mods will be Thorley LT's, 11#, and alk injection.
Im currently running 14* and would like to stay around there. Im going to keep 100% TQM to buy me some time. Could I run a little more timing?? What boost level should I set the alky to come on at??
Any guesstimates as to what I'll put down??
Thanks

I'd set it to come on at maybe 3 or 4psi so it doesn't come on until you really get on it, but stays on at the bottom of a shift.
I'd say you'll put down 400-430 hp.

Thanks Black, That sounds great! I was hoping for 430-450 with the cam so it looks like I should be pretty near my goal.
After that I'll keep my eyes open for a tranny and start the 6.0 buildup. Im interested to hear about your intercooler upgrade and how you feel about the wet kit with a centrifugal
