Weird. I've never seen gains like this...............and frequent sti boards.
How could this be possible, when an 08 sti put down 160 on your dyno. You are telling me this guy has double the horsepower of a stock 08 sti??? I find that hard to believe.
I mean you really believe you got like 150+torque and 120+hp at the flywheel from these mods and tuning alone?

I will post the correct 2008 STi charts when the car comes back. Owner is gone on extended business trip.
How about you let me put your car on my dyno. For free, of course.
I'll even throw in a tank of gas for your troubles.

I said I screwed up when running the 2008 STi on my dyno; call it "premature posting" due to the giddyness factor.

One of my many vices is not lying.

.But when I was tuned at GST with a GReddy Evo 2, TiTek catless downpipe and K&N drop in filter (with a Walbro of course) I put down 262whp and 299tq. I know that the Perrin header produces great gains as I now know that if I add that and an uppipe, I can break the 300whp barrier. Good news!!

No, Ed...no response to your fishing expedition.
Maybe this will answer your curiosty:
Maybe this will answer your curiosty:
Joel's car was one of the first ones I ever tuned and I was still working out my base mapping. I didn't have a wideband at that point and the a/f was extremely conservative when it made it on Gruppe-S's dyno. The car certainly gained quite a bit once I re-tuned it with a wideband. I also believe we figured out that the tire size was incorrect in the configuration, so the numbers off the road dyno were indeed skewed on Joel's car untill I fixed the bug in the configurations.
Since then there have been several cars that have been dyno'd at Gruppe-S and on the road dyno and have been within 3whp of eachother. I am not claiming that every car is going to make exactly the same power on any other dyno as it does on my road dyno. Everyone has to remember that any dyno numbers vary quite a bit depending on varying weather conditions. Its also important to remember that a car that was tuned on the road will not necessarily perform the same way on a dyno and vice versa. Air flow over the IC and loading on a dyno is always a bit different as compared to that on a road.
Finally, I'd like to say that I do my best to keep my road dyno numbers as consistant and conservative as possible. Either way, I don't think anyone should play number games with any dyno chart... its just pointless. Cars are not raced on dyno's. There have been many cars with lower dyno numbers that end up being significantly faster on the road than cars with higher dyno numbers. PM downsti for details

Thanks

No need to get so defensive Paul. I simply asked if these numbers are normal for your dyno and your tuning in your experience. I'm not comparing your numbers to anything else, just wondering if these particular results are typical for the setup and 91 octane? I'm not sure what you think I'm "fishing" for here aside from some basic information. Its really no different than the several questions or remarks you've posted in some of my review threads recently. The only difference is that I provided direct answers instead of defensive accusations.

Thanks legasti, When Paul started working on my car little over two years ago he informed me what the modifications done to my car would do realistically, He was very honest so I had no unrealistic expectations. Since it was established before hand that my car was to be a daily driver it was tuned accordingly. Since Paul has worked on my car it runs smoother than stock just more power in all area's. After the latest mods and tune the car is noticably much faster. I mean holy **** faster, to me its quite amazing the power that is locked up in these cars. I'm a very satisfied coustomer and really thats all that matters.

So now this silliness has spread to another forum?
Wow.
And why should I reply?
Neither I nor the car's owner started it, it was obviously started with malice a forethought, so what's the point of me replying?
Nothing positive will come of it.

I think all I asked for were what mods had been done, as they weren't listed in the first post.
But to answer your direct question, no, these are not typical numbers that I see on my dyno, for this time of year, and with these mods.
Maybe the car was built on a Wednesday.
