Good tune?
Hello, I have a 2003 WRX automatic. I recently had it tuned at a tune shop with the cobb accessport. I showed my cousin my dyno results and he believes from his experience with having cars tuned that mine should have alot more horsepower. I ended up with 232.45whp and 220.10 torque. Now I did some research with the Cobb tuning Stage 2 kit and their dyno results come out 224whp. The Cobb 2 stage kit comes with the accessport, downpipe and catback exhaust. My car has all of that plus, Stainless steel headers, catless uppipe, Injen cold air intake and a walboro fuel pump. With all these extra bolt on mods shouldnt I be producing more than what I ended up with? I appreciate all professional opinions. thank you!

the #'s you have are about right, all dynos also don't read the same. and a fuel pump will not reallly give you power...
Ya dude, automatic has a lot to do with it, some see as much as 15% less hp and tq as a manual but like stated above, numbers don't matter as long as it was tuned correctly. Target egt's, afr's and torque curve are what you really want to look at.

I think its really quick, I dont know why my cousin is soo against the dyno results, but then again hes used to cars like Mustang Cobra's pushing out 500whp... i dont think he knows enough about imports... i dunno hes had over a dozen fast cars modded, etc, but i think they were ALL domestic
