New Guy "Florida Man"

Sup folks,

New guy on the block. Rocking a 07 Acura TL Base A/T daily that im slowly tinkering with. Repping Orlando FL. Ive always read different posts on Acurazine but never signed up. Thea Truong just threatened me to sign up this morning lol. So far engine performance wise the car is Bone marrow stock from intake box through the completely OEM untouched 166k miles exhaust. The shop I work at has a dyno and the car dyno'ed 216hp @ 202tq. Kinda isnt a final official number because i wanna do an overall checkup on the motor and change plugs and then do an official 100% stock number before i throw some Acura RL cams in and see the difference. Only other mods done to the car is upgraded the front calipers to Hyundai Genesis Brembo calipers. Suspension and wheel upgrades are in the near future. I got the wheels with the car and I hate em so yah.

216/202 sounds like some good number for a Base AT. Seems like you have a healthy motor.

Would love to hear/see more about the Hyundai Brembo upgrade.

Good luck with the future build progress!

Thanks. For now its the wife's daily and my little weekend tinker. I posted the brakes in the 3G performance section;

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-p...%24800-985869/

Power is not bad as you mentioned the motor is going strong its got about 125k miles on it. I guess im fortunate to have access to a dyno and be able to do a completely stock base run. Ill do new plus, check compression, oil change and then do an official "before" run then start the mods then. I have RL cams to toss in so thats first on the list.
