Thats like getting a dyno and 6 months later dynoing again with no changes and getting 8 more or less horsepower and being surprised. Your not going to get the same results.
This, nothing more to say then that really.

Moving to dyno....

Years ago you swapped one of your master pieces onto my car while still strapped down. I gained 6whp with gomer making adjustments to the tune.

They are actually a CNC ported tb from VMax. The swirls or rifles as he calls them are from the cnc porting. They are a very popular mod on the the 5th gen cars. I have one on my 2010.
