Ok so i cant scan the dyno sheets in but im running helix downpipe with magnaflow cat back plus a K and N Intake and obviously stage 2 accessport with protune. Max Power 214.2 @ 5750 rpm, Max Torque 221.1 @ 3750 rpm.
The only thing is if you look at the cobb web site its claiming 224 HP and 223 max torque, this is without a protune. So whats going on, can the parts be that difference to cause such a lack of improvement. Its not the protune thats lacking but the accessport its self i believe. With the Stage 2 accessport map that comes preloaded wawws only giving me 202 whp and 188 max torque. hmmmmmm very confuzed!!!

the numbers that they show are numbers from a dyno that reads higher. that's why they call the GST dyno the heartbreaker dyno, cuz everyone thinks that they dyno much higher.
I've seen people dyno 10-20 hp less on the GST dyno, and not because they want you to feel bad, but becuase the dyno is setup for tuning, and not to make the highest numbers...
I'd say you are +/- 250-260 whp or so.

That makes me feel a bit better then. Mike definatly did a good job in smoothing out my car. It doesnt have the jittery hesitation and irregular boost anymore "which is nice". What mods would you recomend now, without being to un realistic money wise. It would be nice to have a bigger turbo, but forking out $1000 + at the moment is not a viable option. Any suggestions ?

uppipe (it makes it feel soooo much better), maybe buy the parts rather than the package, injectors, then fuel pump, then turbo at the end.
I would definately do the uppipe though.

Ray, just to let you know i managed to tap into the rear speakers at the head unit and run from there. The amp i got has an automatic power mode so no remote link up was required. The subs sound awesome just need to upgrase my speakers now. They struggle to compete with the bass lol!!!!
Any you guys going to the monterey meet this saturday?
