Full Stock Baseline: 254.17HP/219.34TQ

Gains = 47.1HP/32.33TQ


Satisfied with the results. Still waiting on my wheels and NST pulleys to arrive which should help me get over 310whp.
Nice gains, bet you really notice that torque jump at it's 4300 rpm sweet spot. Thanks again for doing all this step-by-step data Alfredo, valuable resource you've created

After all these mods and dyno tracking, there has to be a feeling of satisfaction seeing proof of 300+ WHP. Congrats, Alfredo.

What's the tally? Looking at your power-mod list for parts and installation... over $5000, I'm guessing. With a rounded edge to the numbers, that like $100/hp.

That 4300 rpm really is the sweet spot. Glad to help and share.

There is, but I'm still hungry for more lol.

The total on just the "power adders", which are the Gen 3, FI RHFC, M370, ARK, and UpRev tune is around $4000 including installation.

Sounds like a lot for ~50whp, but I was very aware of the cost and probable gains. I had a bad experience on forced induction, so that is why I didn't just go turbo or supercharged just in case anyone was wondering.

Blown motor &/or transmission?? Both? Or just a PITA to get it all working properly?
You've got my attention

Not really. I've always thought there's a very generalized $100/1hp rule for NA builds, so it's kind of interesting seeing you in that same ratio.

Blown stock motor after ~1000 miles and blown built motor (forged rods and pistons) after ~500 miles. Plus all the months that I was without the car and bad experiences with different mechanics, which didn't even take minimum responsibility for the bad tune.

I think the exhaust parts is what brings it up to that much per hp. Going to a muffler shop for a custom one will save you plenty, but it would not be the same in terms of sound and quality.

Thanks!
As for your surprise, I'm guessing short tube headers?

Great news. Just ordered the Michelin Pilot Super Sports on 245/45/18 and 275/40/18.



If everything goes well, the new wheels and tires should arrive and be installed by the next Friday.

No. The problem was the 275/40/18. No one had it and no one wanted to order it.
I had to order through tirerack and pay $250 just for shipping.

It sucks when you let them ship to you. I pay $100 shipped for tires to the Virgin Islands from Miami. Only one shop here sells my sizes but not the brand.

Living on a small island can sometimes suck. Hopefully for my next tire change, they will have the Michelin PSS on 275/40/18 in stock.
