This is why FI is really the only way to go...


Nothing NA oriented will gain much at all. I don't care how "uber" jdm they are or how expensive they are...nothing will gain you any real power expect maybe some added throttle response. IMO, some throttle response is not worth a couple G's.

hows the midrange power now? Thats a big factor, more important than peak power IMO.

but still 12hp is inexcuseable.

i'd honestly say find a better tuner, because the EMS alone should have been good for 12hp.

I agree entirely, BUT, tuning has everything to do with his small gains I would bet.

Sell all that shit though and go booooooooooooooost.

Add a S/C to all that and you'll see some good gains.

I was thinking along the same lines.

I think you've got a problem with your tune, or the environmental conditions during your dynos varied too much.

Can you upload the two dyno sheets?

Id have to say your tuner sucks, or your motor is just a weakling. Im made 198whp on Gutten Stock Intake Box and Catback exhaust. I believe someone else on the forums has KN filter/Exhaust/Vafc2 made 128whp. I feel sorry for you!

Gears as first mod and FI next lol

Exhaust for 'sound' later. :-)
