depends on the mods/turbo/octane, but I have quite a few 35R customers making 500awhp on 93 octane, I'm at 633awhp myself thanks to better head/cams

Dude lol I love that you added that to the list ahaha. I didn't read the previous few posts so I'm not sure what was asked for, but that's awesome that the antenna made the list.

I actually read somewhere on EvoM I think that there are some major conflicts when running the FP Red and the Perrin Antenna.

**Badog** · 06-23-2009, 05:10 AM

I had that antenna on my car for awhile, but since I have no radio or speakers anymore I took it off. I think I lost some top end power after removing it.

**Njragland** · 06-23-2009, 05:17 AM

hehe yea nobody has mentioned it till now lol.. shows how much people really pay attention =P JK!

Pretty much posted everything single thing I changed hehe

Mellon Tuning · 06-23-2009, 06:26 AM

not sure if you were asking me to guess at your hp or what? a better question would be "what can ams get for you" lol

**Njragland** · 06-23-2009, 02:06 PM

Not bashing anyone cuz AMS is a great company and I do have a few parts from them which I love, but I don't think anyone really comes all that close to getting the #'s you do! Just from what I've read.. i could be wrong... =P

My rear end gets loose when I take mine off. The antenna breaks the air up for your spoiler

gotcha, I just didn't see the point in quoting numbers if you're going with them for tuning...I can't guess what they can do for ya

ok I removed the parts that don't matter for guesstimation on your 2006 IX, I assume we're talking about 93 octane?

it should be in the upper 300's with my tune on a stock IX turbo but with the Red, it should be in the 400-450awhp area max

**SMP3000** · 06-23-2009, 04:33 PM

Hey Chris is that guestimation (I know you hate doing that) on DLL or Dynojet? I think the closest Dyno to Nick would be AMS's dynojet. Or Nick does APM have a dyno?

**Njragland** · 06-23-2009, 05:19 PM

APM doesnt have their own but they use a shop like a few blocks from them I believe that has one... not sure which it is... and yes its 93 oct

I use a conservative contents weight and no SAE correcton (defaults to cold weather and sea level) so the numbers I get are on the conservative side.

This puts it between a stingy mustang and generous dynojet most commonly from what we've seen on numerous customers cars that went to the dyno after I tuned them.

Mellon Tuning · 06-23-2009, 05:33 PM

to give you an idea with my own car:
DLL 405awhp - ran 11.7 @ 118 (lifting to shift)
DLL 500awhp - ran 11.2 @ 125 (lifting to shift)
DLL 600awhp - ran 11.2 @ 130 (spinning and lifting to shift)
DLL 600awhp - ran 10.4 @ 135 (powershifting)

no runs at 700awhp YET, should do 9.99 @ 140 or better I expect.

**Njragland** · 06-23-2009, 05:41 PM

cant wait!

alex05VIII · 06-23-2009, 05:41 PM

**Njragland** · 06-23-2009, 05:47 PM

Gotta talk to APM and setup a date to take it in.. hopefully real soon.. would be great to have back b4 HIN! =)

**killakane24** · 07-03-2009, 03:52 PM

Hey, do you have the Heavy Duty Pressure Plate or the Xtreme Duty? I'm looking into a street clutch as we speak...

Is this 400-450awhp area max due to the walbro pump? what If I had the double pumper?

Should have it back on Friday... *keeping fingers crossed*
