Took my 2006 SSR 6 SPEED to Motor Sport Technologies in Houston to reprogram the computer programmer. First the 400 HP and 400 Torque as advertised by GM is for the motor sitting in a crate. After GM installs it in the car the actual HP is about 327 with 349 torques to the rear wheels and with a stall rev limit at 5500 RPM.
After Motor Sport (
www.motorsporttech.com) reprogrammed the computer it gave me 354.5 HP and 366.1 Torque and disconnected the original stall rev limit from the factory. Anyone interested in the spec sheet on the Dyno Test send me your email address to
jbarrow1@houston.rr.com and I will forward it to you. Somehow I cannot get the spec sheet to attach to this thread.
Anyway I was driving it later that night looking for a street race to see how much better it preformed. A Mustang pulled up to me a red light gunning his motor so when the light changed I took off and blew his doors off the line. He came up to the next light and said he was not ready. So we did it again. This time I got ahead of him off the line but we were dead even after 120 MPH. When we got to the next red light I asked him what he had done to his Mustang because it sounded really bad. He said he but in a 4:10 rear end, headers, "X" pipe, Corsa Exhaust, Air intake, etc,. He then asked what I did to the SSR. Before I could say anything my wife says it's STOCK. The look on his face - PRICELESS>
