What's a stage? Like one you perform on?

I wouldn't be too disappointed in your power, remember each dyno reads differently and it's only a number unless you're comparing to another car on the same dyno at the same time with the same weather etc etc.

Now on the note of the catback, I'll side with yeah its just noise, as long as its not restrictive in an abundant way, it doesn't matter. There's some charts of fujitsubo exhausts and flow tested. It's like 93DB at WOT but still has the same flow as a straight through design. Now having flappers like the expensive euro cars would be the best of both worlds

The numbers look fine for a 100k motor with minimal mods like this. I'm sure you wanted a conservative tune for a high mileage motor like that and seems like that's exactly what Mike gave you. As long as it feels smooth and responsive, enjoy it as long as the motor lasts.

Thanks

I think Ed is right.

I've got a VF39'ed FXT which had, at the time, just over 132,000 miles. Mike tuned me to around 19psi and I asked for a conservative tune due to the high mileage.

I put down 257whp and 259tq, and he said he was happy with the HP numbers, but the torque would have gone up a good deal with a catless DP.

Missed you too you beta non-lifting crap talker. You guys talking crap on steroids doesn't change anything for me. I'm an athlete... Some Athletes use steroids. Steroids are not some magic pill or oil you can take, they are hormones and only people educated on then could consider using them, let alone know how to even get legit stuff. It's a science and I'm my own lab rat...Welcome to reality old sport.

Be careful sonny boy, I do lift every day and I'm a 6'7" African American ex-marine boxing champion / Kung fu instructor that competes in ironman competitions and currently holds 3 black belts.

Where I was raised (watts district south central LA) we used scrawny whiteboys like you for punching practice. After me and my homies have finished running a train on your skinny white *** you'll understand what it's like to be a woman.

Tell me what meet you go to and we can have a chat man (me) to boy (you). Maybe you have more manners when you've been taken down and are struggling to breathe?
