On dynos, the '02 and '03 have shown a bit more horsepower/torque stock as compared to the '00 and '01. I wonder if it is more engine to engine differences...

I doubt WRS2K was talking about the '02 and '03's though, he just loves to throw a wrench in anyone's post-mod fun.

 

Well I have seen dyno graphs of a 20 HP and 10+ torque gain from the Toda alone. Me not dynoing the car myself, this is far from proof but I have a real hard time believing there are any stock S2K's out there that are putting more power to the ground. Also, comptech has dyno's with the cai showing a power increase as well. 12ft/lbs of torque low end and about 6-8 hp high end. I'm guessing the exhaust is little to no gain at all, but definitely not making it any slower. Hopefully I can get a dyno done within a few weeks or so. Would like to do it on a cool dry day if possible.

Here are some good examples...

[B]I'm no authority, but I've read some articles and threads where the intake and exhaust modifications add little to no additional hp and sometimes decrease power.

I think what WRS2K may be saying is that the normal production variation can be as much as + or - 5% for the same engine.

 

Nice mods. The Toda headers and Comptech CAI certainly help in both low and mid-ends.

Don't get too wind up w/ WRS2K. You'll soon learn to put him on your "ignore" list as many others have. Enjoy your mods.

 

The only Toda header I've dyno'd (on Prolene's car) made a significant increase in power across the board.

Thanks UL. Makes me feel better.

 

If you don't mind, what did you have to pay for the header? Can you use the header with a supercharger? I hate to throw money down the drain.

 

WRS2K would find a pimple on Halle Berry's ass and call it a night.
Some guys are just that way.

 

With these mods,I am sure that you are getting between,at least 10 to 15 more RWHP than a stocker.
Some people are just jealous.
Enjoy your mods.

Wow +20 from Toda header alone? I highly doubt it. Local member with AEM CAI, Toda header, and Spoon N1 exhaust dyno'd stock numbers. Another member with 4IG CAI, Mugen header, and Mugen exhaust also dyno'd stock numbers. These members actually dyno'd better stock and gained 0 hp up top. Add a VAFC into the mix then you'll see some gains.
