'91 Dyno'ed

[Honcho]

Blackhorse, I think there might be more going on with your car than the tune- I've seen several RDX dynos at altitude and all show safe AFR throughout the range. Might be time to check your IAT, O2 and MAP sensors. Fuel pump could be on the fritz too. This is the danger of tune-by-mail, since Brian can't know what's going on with your specific car. We're working on a Prospeed dyno tuning day here in Denver and you're welcome to head up.

I think your right. I have been on the fence about going CTSC and I would need to change a few items anyway, I am giving the NA route as much a try as possible. Let me know when/if Brian is heading to Denver, I would head up there for that!

I just swapped out my Pride V2 for a Pride Lightweight. Initial thoughts:

1. I miss the sound of the V2. The Lightweight is much deeper and quieter but it could be that it's not fully broken in yet.
2. The car feels like it pulls harder (especially in higher RPMs) but this could very well be the Placebo effect.
3. I may dyno soon because I'm really curious if what I'm feeling is true.

Update, 1.5 years later after the exhaust swap.

I went back to the same place with the biggest difference being a swap from the Pride V2 to the Lightweight exhaust. It was a little cooler today as well.

Before: 262.24whp/203.70wtq
After: 275.42whp/211.82wtq

Gain of 13.18whp/8.12wtq. I really do miss the sound of the V2 though. I wonder how the boosted application (2.5") of the V2 would perform on an NA application...
