If 270 to the wheels is accurate, with 25-30% loss from the crank, it is very close to what VF39 pumps out at max and Cobb's claim of stage two. Nice work considering the limitations of the Street Tuner software. Not everyone feels comfortable outside their element and Ed challenged himself to something new. I applaude that.
Not surprised the numbers are so low given the conditions. The thermometer on the car read 91 on Sunday. We drove A LOT with A/C before the pulls. "Heat soaking" is like putting a magnifying glass on an ant under the sun. Much different than running on a treadmill in a cool room with a fan blowing cool air onto the intercooler. I'll dyno and post those numbers too.
Overall, I am pleased too. Ed just wrote a more detailed recap.

Haha... I have to admit, it was fun pretending to own an STI for the weekend. I deffinately got a lot more looks in it than in my WRX (except when I cruise through town on my rally wheels
). The 94 octane map could have certainly made a bit more power, but it would knock in extreme conditions such as a 1/4 mile pull right after sitting in line for 10-15 minutes. Your current power level is very consistant and safe for those types of conditions which is more important to me than putting up 5-10 more whp on the dyno graph.
I'm glad you're happy with your car and eager to see what kind of times it puts down at the track.
Thanks
