Headers took an extra week and a half to get here, so we'll have results for Wavey once they are installed.

Spoke to Wavey today, after the new year we will get the final tune and dyno.

I want the results as much as all of you. I'm sitting on a decent amount of inventory in anticipation for these results.

Finally updates for Wavey's Car.

We had to use a different dyno because I'm pretty sure the first shop we used is out of business or MIA for the moment.

Anyway, Results are: 189 RWHP, 199 RWTQ. Shop owner said this dyno us about 9% lower then a Dynojet (originally used). So corrected numbers are: 207 RWHP, 219 RWTQ. This is 8 RWHP then our Crossfire which is a manual.

The biggest difference is the area under the curve. We saw a massive (for a 3.2L) amount of TQ from the 3400-5000 mark.

Stock(SI tune, UD Pulleys, Exhaust): 163 HP/ 169 TQ
Modded: 207 HP/ 219 TQ

Gain: 44 HP, 50 TQ

As a reference we have seen 208 RWHP on our car that is modded the same without headers, and 217 RWHP on another customer's car with Wavey's mods, Crank Pulley, and dual exhaust.

Well, once you get the car back in your hands there Wavey, you'll have to let us know how much of a difference the increase in HP and TQ feel behind the wheel. In my opinion, it still sounds like a decent gain in #'s from the original dyno reading.

Dynos are a disappointing thing at times. Track results are the best way to gauge improvement. If you only show a small peak gain but a huge gain under the curve your Dyno is gonna be upsetting but you're gonna be noticeably faster. I bet we'd pick up another 10-15 RWHP by switching to a dyno dynamics dyno. It's not real power, but a nicer graph.

If anyone would like to order up the injectors/Intake/Tune package shoot me a PM and I'll get you the details.
