Another XSPower Header Dyno!!!!!
Well today i drove over to ProMotion Tuning today for a dyno. It wasnt as easy as a drive there, i had to sit in vacation traffic for 35mins(2miles) before pulling into the dyno shop. All i was thinking was OH GREAT a heatsoaked engine. I think i will continue to write pointless rambles 
...and not post any dyno numbers.
On all my pulls i did have the drivers side foglight out so the air was blowing directly on the filter. Maybe I forgot to mention the dyno pull was done in 4th gear.
STATS:
03 CLS-6speed
AEM cold air intake
XSPower Headers
Done on an AWD DynoJet Using front rollers only.
First pull: 248whp
Second pull: 246whp
On the third pull we took a 15min. break which helped me yeild my best pull of the afternoon.
Third pull: 253whp and 218lbs of torque
Graphs are on their way!!
Im pretty much at sea level where i dynoed and will be posting my dyno graphs as soon as the company emails them to me

253?? Holy crap, that's awesome. I've been thinking about getting a baseline dyno of my car while its still stock so I have something to compare it to when I finally get some mods.

I thought that 253 was a little on the high side as well for my mods. I really dont know what the SAE Corrections are, care to explain? Im still waiting on the dyno shop to email me the three runs. Makes me wish I had a baseline dyno of my car when it was stock.

And yes the dyno is sae modified.

I dont understand why the hp and tq seem to fall off at 6.5K? I do have a dip right before 4K RPMS on the graph which i think is that hesitation with the 6speeds, it showed up on all 3 of my dyno runs. I guess i just got lucky 
I think Intake and Header is all im doing performance wise to this car. This is the first time I have ever dynoed a car, next week I might get my Supercharged Grand Prix a run on the dyno

cl-s are very sensitive to temperture change. a long cool down would account for the good numbers.
also, that's on par with a 350z with revup engine.

The dyno shop didnt send me the first and second pulls, but ill call them and see if they can, my first 2 pulls netted me in the high 240 range...I do have pics of my car strapped to the dyno I should post
All Mine, the Rev-Up engine is the 3.5L in the 350z that puts out 300hp

the dyno curve is fine...all dynos have a range of variable and one shouldnt dyno race...it's a tunning tool not a my car in florida makes more power than yours in california....the track is the place to show that...take it to the 1/4...if it runs 13's at 100+ then id say the number is good

The torque on the CLS6 isnt bad at all, so there really isnt a need for high RPM's. But it could always use some more torque.

it took so long, I had to get the DynoJet WinPep viewer to get the rest of the graphs. So here they are. 
Sorry its blurry it's the best I can do......

All I can think is the dyno calibration is off. The charts look correct. Nothing that would tell you the car is not making those #'s. The TQ curve is a little flat. You have over 200 tq at 3K RPM? That doesn't make sense. Those #'s just can't be right. Look at the dyno postes on CL & TL's over the years & none of them are close to those #'s with those mods.
