no matter what, can anyone explain that why all of my mods without the EMS have made only 203whp? 203 looks like stock power. i just feel like i spent $3k for no power gain
I knew this going into iit and dont expect to have gained a lot of HP from my mods... but i love em just the same!

When I went to dyno my car for fun on a dyno day, I got 197hp(can't remember tq) and I was dissappointed, I was hoping to get aleast 200whp with my mods(I didnt have any EMS thou). Some almost stock(intake only i think) was making almost the same power as I was. Like stated above you should see improvement in mid-range, I didn't do a base run cause there was a line, but I saw some(very little 
) improvements in mid-range when comparing to the others that were there. If $$$ itsn't a problem do another dyno run

lol my car dynoed 197 whp with K&N FIPK. man i was so sad. 203 still sounds low. was there a fan? blower? what about the testpipe size? and the header made power with my combo. sucks about the exhaust.

i know i you feel also, just curious why you went with 8400 redline not 8500 or 8600? i think it was spoon was said that 8600 rpm in a 2.2 is the same as 9K in 2.0. crank speed wise.

who cares about numbers. It sounds like you are mad about the 211whp and not the 8whp you got from the AEM EMS (which is pretty standard btw). You need to compare what your before and after.

wow with a Dynojet that is very low. Idk why you made such a small gain with the AEM. I also have a 60rs and know that it doesnt make the best power but it is a great streetable exhaust. Idk if you got it tuned in Pullman but I would recommend getting a shop like Rrev or Forged in Portland to do the tune. Rrev did a great job with my S2000. The tune is more important than the tuning device
