I did make 420+ with the ported 853s. Later I went back and dynoed with TFS 215s and picked up 30+hp and almost 30 ftlbs of tq. I've attached the dyno graph showing the difference.

I booked the dyno on my own and tuned it myself (both times). I think there was still a bit left in it as hp was steadily climbing every pull, but I was running out of time so I left it at 455hp, 398tq. The difference between the ported 853s and the tfs 215s was unreal. The car really picked up power all over.

Thanks Kyle, thats just life I guess. The only thing I can do is move forward and try not to let it get me down. Things like that are the reason why I hate Christmas time.

I thought you broke the 400rwtq.... I thought it was closer to 406rwtq or something.... Either way that car pulls crazy. Blew my doors off pretty damn quick that day on the highway when we were messing with that STi.

yeah I know what your saying. It isn't big with me either after missing quite a few in a row..... I dont hate it, but its not a biggie to me. It is for my wife so thats who I try and keep happy. Harder for her since she had never been away from hers.

Man no sleep. Can't wait till I get on the plane. Rob and I were up till 3 and hen got up at 6 to fly out.

It did make more than 400tq at the dyno day a few months later at VA Speed. It also made a few less hp but I'd been messing with the tune in between. I don't have the graph from Va Speed on my computer so I didn't want to misquote the #s...I'll have to pull it up when I get out there tomorrow.

I'm not sure what that guy in the STi thought when I went passed him after you pulled on him!

hahaha! Looked up my #s from the Va Speed dyno day...443hp, 403tq. Showed a pronounced dip from 6300rpm to 6800rpm where the run ended. That's right where my peak should have been...I wasn't logging though so I'll never know what was going on.

Are you picking up your car this weekend?
