If with lap3 on 93 octane setting gives you 50whp, how much whp you reckon the jb4 will give while running map 3 which is 6psi over stock using 94 octane with 3" downpipe intake plugs...

 

[Turbonut]

Lots of variables, but @ 385HP, maybe 315 WHP.

Not even close. The JB4 has no documnetable power bump over the lap3 tune. Not to mention, the "lap3" isn't a tune. It's a chip. You don't get nearly 50whp. You max out at about 30-35whp at best. Meaning 270whp. Not 315 unfortunately.

All I know is that on map 3 it moves.

 

[Turbonut]

What's the boost pressure you're seeing?

 

[1st timer]

Max I got is 24.7 actual boost

Here's a 315WHP with a Lap3:

[SX-T] : - 315WHP/310WTQ Optima by Lap3

Corey Bell has been stationing in Korea for over a year now. He brought his U.S. built Optima with him, and got his car tuned at right around at 300whp back in 2014. And re-dyno'd this May. It's been over a year. He just got a remap yesterday, and this is the result! It hits 300whp...

50 crank hp, not wheel hp.

I don't think anyone has tested them both to compare the results yet.

Not to mention, the "lap3" isn't a tune. It's a chip.

The proper name for the product from the manufacturer is:

"LAP3 Uncle Chip Performance Tune"

IMHO, any time a product can increase HP by changing electronic parameters, without physical parts, that can be considered a tune.

Correct, it is 50hp at the crank, which many members have tested and see a consistent 40-42WHP from the 93 setting.

What boost did he end up getting with the tune?

It was previously advertised as 50whp.

Cant remember where.

 

[JasonS]

Why dont you take it to a dyno nd run and get readings specific to your car??

 

[1st timer]

Just asking out of curiousity. Thought of getting it dynoed but not "that" important for me to fork over a few hundred dollars just to get those numbers.

what does whp stand for then?

what does whp stand for then?

“Wheel Horsepower” (This is the amount of actual horsepower put to the ground after going through the transmission & the drivetrain)

Gotcha, so you site does quote WHP for the uncle chip I guess why there are some confusion

Thank you for the heads up on this. There was one place where we still had the "W" in front of the HP that we forgot to remove. (Fixed Now)

Our website shows the regular HP gains the engine makes, not the WHP put to the ground. (Which can change based on multiple factors like gasoline quality, ambient temperature, elevation, etc)
