AED tune installed (464 whp @ 8200 Rpms)

[Boss3o2]

Been getting a lot of PM's regarding feedback on the new tune I installed on my 12 LS Boss. Figured I would share this, with all of you here.

Stock, my Boss made 417 whp, 357 TQ @ 7550 RPM's (Hit rev limiter)

Got all 3 tunes from Shaun @ AED, that I can switch back and forth with. On the Dyno, I used the Performance tune. However, it comes with 3 tunes - Race, Performance, or Lopey Idle Tune.

The car made 459 whp, and 386 Tq @ 8250 RPMS. (Rev Limiter set at 8200). It feels like a raped ape, compared to stock.

After the install of Cat Delete Pipes, and K&N intake, the car made 464 whp, and 389 tq. @ 8250.

All Dyno Runs, were on 91 Chevron Pump Gas.

The car was dyno'd on a in ground Dyno-Jet. I should have my Dyno sheets emailed to me, by this week, which I'll post, once I get them.


Here are some YouTube videos for you guys.

Holy shit!!!

edit: Did you really do a WOT pull with your fuel light on?? LOL please tell me that I'm wrong

 

[ShelbyKid]

[Dave_6]

why would that matter? my low fuel light comes on with 1/4 tank left. it's usually on.


and awesome results. My car was soooo happy with the AED Performance tune.

You're not wrong. Unless you're running Nitrous or Turbo, its no harm. However, I was burning up the 91 Pump Gas, as I was planning to add some Race fuel the following day - for some more Dyno Testing.

Another thing I would like to add, is the increase in MPG with the new tune. I gained 7 MPG @ 70 MPH, Same freeway, gear etc.

I get close to 100 miles more, per tank now.

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

Oh gotcha, I didn't know you were trying to burn it.. That car pulls insane and really makes me want a Boss. Congrats man

 

[AZBOSS]

Holy **** you upped the limiter to 8200? Awesome numbers though.

Also--how is the fitment on the Cat Delete Pipes? I'm assuming you used the BBK ones? Any leaks?

 

[ArabianOak]

This thread got me so pumped up I called shaun at AED and ordered a tune! LOL!

My car made 414RWHP with the steeda intake and steeda tune...are you saying I can gain 30-40 to the wheels with this tune?

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

I want 8200 rpms on a road coarse lol!! good lord

Yeah, these motors are safe to 8400 RPM's, which is what the Boss 302R's are shifted at. The extra 700 RPM's is just what this motor needed, for its short gears.

Also, keep in mind, the Dyno graphs are showing its making power up that high.

As for the Cat Delete pipes. I actually went with what Shaun @ AED recommended, which is the cheapy JEGS performance pipes. Fitment was dead on, and O2 are placed in the stock location. However, they were a SOB to put on!

Good stuff. Yes, the gains were amazing. Shaun is not completely focused on Peak numbers, and more importantly what is in between. I still cannot believe, what a simple tune did to this already amazing machine.

We're going to Willow Springs again, on 9/2 for Speed Ventures. Hope to see and meet some SVTperf. Members out there. You're welcome to do some laps with me, my LS Boss. :beer:

Damn make sure you get soem vids of that!! I would love to attend trust me, but I'm stuck in stationed in Mobile, AL lol!! But in a couple years when I move home I'm going to take you up on that offer :beer:

 

[RSKtakR]

I knew it would happen. I saw your Boss, and said to myself " Yeah..right!" If I had nickel, for everytime I have said that. Btw, congrats on your new purchase!

Here is the AED tune installed, without the Cat Delete pipes.

:beer: thanks, I love it!! do you even have a CAI on your car? only mods is the tune and cat deletes? Its HARD to not mod it... its the perfect platform.

Cool, looking forward to seeing your graphs. Letting it rev that high might reduce the longevity of your engine; are you planning to install the Cobra Jet crank trigger ring? That is supposed to clear up any ECU timing noise above 7800 RPM.

very impressive, love that lopey idle! well done!

 

[Wiseguy]

Very nice! This Engine shines from 6k on.........

thanks to you I just emailed Shaun, and he said just let him know when Im ready..LOL I BLAME YOU! :shrug: however I would probably get bigger injectors and run the corn through it as well based on my butt dyno from my last car.
