dont cheat on the way to the dyno...if you do, I'll claim an extra 5hp (due to cooling things and stuff), then if you use race gas I'll claim an extra 10, because I can actually tune for the full benifits of it!

however, I think I did use Chevron gas when I went to the dyno. Not any cheap stuff.

Octane booster, inflated tyres, very thin diff / gbox oil, ecu reset before etc... Gan gain quite a few bhp.

All are artificial as Juan says - its not your normal every day setup.

I would stick with normal parameters, but make sure the engine is noce and warm, and do several dyno runs. Ive seen a PPP STi impreza gain 20 bhp from run 1 to run 8 due to ECU making natural changes - but again, this is its maximum rather than normal.

No cheating now

Someone mentioned my name?

After reading 29 pages I must say that am really curious the results of my setup!

Great discussion in this topic!

Dyno tune in a couple hrs I'll post results later tonight.
Check my sig for previous dyno with just Berk and Invidia.

My current mods are:
Berk Test Pipe
Invidia exhaust
Ricks Header
AEM V2
VAFCII

also, have 4.57 gears and running on 17x9 with 255/40 Azenis in the rear, just FYI.
It's 39degrees here right now and supposed to be in the 50's during my dyno time. Hoping for some good #'s. Wish me luck.

good luck...keep us posted.

well the numbers were not what I expected at all. Unfortunatley they printed the wrong graph insted of my baseline, but I'll post as soon as I can. I'm not sure why, but I actually made less than my previous dyno, aslo they tuned my A/F to 12.8????? peak#'s were 214hp and 150tq???? I lowered the VTEC to 4500 and saw 15-20hp gain from 4500-6000 compared to the baseline I did today, but no gains on top end at all The dyno was having some trouble gettin a good read in the higher RPMs though. For comparison my friend and fellow s2ki member, The White Mandingo, put down 202hp and 138tq. His mods were AEMCAI, Amuse single exhaust, clutch and flywheel. I think I might have it retuned someplace else. The car def pulls harder with the header and lower VTEC, but I need to run at the track next weekend and see for sure.

actually your numbers sound spot on for what your mods are and the A/F its tuned at...you could probably lean it out a little more and find maybe 5hp but it looks pretty healthy
