Aftermarket modification numbers? HP/TQ/MPG - 10/9/2006 9:44:32 PM    DarkOne Posts: 284 Joined: 8/26/2006 Status: offline Just wondering if anyone has any hp/tq/mpg numbers after modifications? I purchased a Gtech SS, showed numbers for 0-60 @ 6.86 1/4mile @14.76. I don't think HP is right, since it read 502 and TQ at 571 ft/lbs. Did a reset on the MPG and showed an increase from what it used to be...gain of 2 mpg. Anyone else? DarkOne. Post #: 1

It sounds like getting the initial mounting correct is key to getting accurate readings tho. I certainly would question Hp numbers higher than 320 w/o any mods. Those kind of readings (if accurate) should yield a better ET than 14.76. Will let you know what I get when I get it set up. (in reply to DarkOne) Post #: 2

I did however get one reading before the exhaust was put on, the HP was 310 and the TQ was at 390 ft/lbs. I thought that was pretty close to what I should get. I am still waiting to get on a 1/4 mile stretch (flat) to get a more accurate reading. Those readings earlier were from a stand still, but making a right turn (from a stop sign) then going up hill, so I am guessing the G's factor into the equation. Not sure though, that is when I had those readings this evening. Shark let me know what you get. The Gtech is a neat gadget, but would like to get the truck on a dyno along with the GTECH and see if they match. DarkOne. (in reply to 73shark) Post #: 5

I think it is www.gtechpro.com Pretty neat gadget. I have it plugged into my tahoe. I have the Gtech Pro SS. Take a look. I think someone has the superchips flashpaq (friscokid) maybe. I hope to get one at the end of the month when I get some cash. By the way I do have the air raid CAI. I reset my MPG and looks like I increased 2 MPG when I don't mash on the pedal, of course. Even then it doesn't go down to what it used to be. < Message edited by DarkOne -- 10/10/2006 10:07:37 PM > (in reply to biglg) Post #: 7

I want to get the superchips also, it was the best mod I put on my hemi ram truck. I have seen them on ebay for around $365 with best offer option. As for the CAI I think i will go with the volant to keep the filter enclosed for sound. I know some of you have said that aftermarket open air CAI on this 07 tahoe doesnt make any noise, however every open air filter i have had makes all kind of noise when accelerating! Thanks.
