I don't think your engine is necessarily weak, but what mods do you have or are you 100% stock?
Remember, my car and Steve's car has the most mods to date, and Mike is close behind. The correction factor is zero so it's uncorrected #'s.

It's hard to determine which factors contributed to either power gain or power loss without monitoring the OBD2 sensors to make sure we're all dyno'ing under the exact same conditions. That means making sure engine coolant temps are within 185-190 degrees for each run.
My car when stock dyno'd 207 at Naka's Waipio when it was cold (just made it to 3 bars when they started the run) while the 2nd run lost 6hp after they left my engine running for 10 minutes. The 3rd run I lost 3 more hp before they shut it down to let my car cool off.
Since your car is stock, did you make sure your air filter was clean? That can rob 2hp in some cases.

my air filter should have been relatively clean as it was supposed to have been replaced less than 4k mi ago when i got the 30k service done. i don't know if it would have made much of a difference, but i was due for an oil change when i went to dyno. i got to hypersports while nate's car was already on the dyno so it probably had only about 15 mins to cool down. i would love to believe that these factors played a big role in my low numbers, but i'm pretty sure they wouldn't account for a 10hp difference.

Yeah man, you figured it out, thats how it works. The bigger your feet, or the taller you are, or the HP of your car... they give away what you got in the shorts. For example: I'm 6'1" with a size 13 foot, and my car did pretty good on the dyno... ![biggrin.gif](https://www.s2ki.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Yup Gotta love that Spam! If I replied to each one of those, I'd have the largest penis (yards long), with the most saying power ( no doubt months of erections), in the world! And to top it all off, I'd have a 100 Rolex watches (the latest bunch of crap to get past my filter....)

Mike's car actually has a new mod that supplements the Spoon snorkel. There is a 3 inch diameter hole on the side of the airbox that has an intake hose going through the passenger-side front panel, down to behind the faux air duct (which is now cut open to allow fresh air to enter that area).
The restriction, if any, is all but gone with this mod. Perhaps Mike can put up a few pics on a job well done.
Wendell, Vince's car is pretty much stock with that intake only mod. Use his #'s as a reference to your car... with your torque figures being 140ish and above.

Hey guys! I'm going to install the Vornado and then I'll toast ALL of your numbers!
muahahahahaha muahahahahaha!!!
Very interesting results indeed. It was great to see that Mike could turn around his numbers by doing a little 'home improvement' style mod to his car. Great DIY job Mike!
I wish we could have monitored the IAT's just to throw out one more possibility of variance. Oh well.
