Well..as some of you may know, I picked up a 2000 SF SVT w/39,000 original miles a little while back. Really modded nice. Owner had a shop perform a true hybrid swap which he ran for a few years until he threw a rod. Car sat for a few years until I bought it. I installed a 2004 port-matched 3L w/~20,000 miles. MSDS headers/y-pipe--->high flow car--->true Borla cat-back. SVT cams. Sho-shop lightened flywheel. DMD. Underdrive PS pulley. The car was originally tuned for the true hybrid. No CELs...

Car is slow...

My T-red 3L true hybrid with stock y-pipe/cat-back will eat it for lunch.

I'm going to take it next weekend to have it dyno tuned...

Is there something I'm missing?
 
well the hybrid has more compression ... and the tune isn't right for the motor now. I retune should even things out.
