So I'm only making 10.5hp less than Skip on their Dyno -- thats pretty good then, considering I'm 0.3L down! Area under the curve I'm sure is not nearly as good though.

Somewhat curious what I'd make on a DynoJet for comparison's sake. I'm guessing it'd be around 220-230hp which isn't too bad.

We dyno'd my car on their dyno after RTA last year. Toan had seen my car against their Scion down the main straight and was more or less shocked that it pulled on the tC(turbo'd). Again, I would have been willing to bet my car against any car close to mine on their dyno.

When the west coasters would get on this board and say, "Oh, I have 245 hp with bolt-ons," I just sat back and laughed as they laughed at my numbers. Bench racing is silly.

they charge 500$ for a tune if everything goes smoothly, witch was the case with me. I waited for about 4 hours before I got the car back. But I think they cherge more for forced induction and it'll prolly take longer too

Anyways, from my experience now, I advise not to mod the car unless you going forced induction, it's not worth it, unless the part you want to change is broken.
I like your advice, I think I'll spend my money on handling first then go on more power once I have mastered the car on track.

Oleg, you should have waited for the dyno until after I cleared your corners! Getting the amber out of your headlamps will improve your HP by...umm...at *least* 10HP .

See ya Saturday!
