I'll end this. Aaron, stop by the shop and we'll toss your car on the rollers. You guys are racing from rolls. Shifting, powerbands, gearing, frontal drag, this can all have an effect. I hope it makes more because on that day I couldn't get it any higher without turning the knock control off. Then it makes 186ish awhp from what I recall.
Most 16g cars I've tuned make low to mid 200's. In the end why does it really matter? His car is faster, knowing it makes power doesn't really change it, make your shit faster. It is not going to be the 300whp or whatever the people think you have. It is a fucking 16g with a motor with shitty compression on pump gas with a sidemount.
So why did my 50trim make mid 200?

It's all a joke, nobody (at least to my knowledge) is really butt hurt about it. It's just something we give aaron shit about, like he is hustling us or something, even though no money or appetizers have been at stake.
That and it doesn't make sense to some of our fragile little minds how a car with so much less horsepower, that weighs more could be faster.

I know for me that this is the main part of this ordeal.
People have dyno'd on the same dyno or at least the same kind and i can still keep up with less power. This car was fun before, but now that it is pissing people off, I love it.
Oh, I like you guys too.
I know that i am not butt hurt from this, this ordeal is hilarious either way you look at it.

I don't think anyone is pissed, we just like giving each other shit.

50 trims don't really start humming until higher boost. Didn't we have an issue where we didn't want to turn it up? I thought we were around 15psi or so on your car....
The most I have seen out of a 16g was 268fwhp at 18psi on a 2g with a fmic. Most awd 16g cars end up around low-mid 200's (240 is the most I believe). Larger turbo dsm's on pump gas tend to make 5-25 more hp at the same boost levels, they really shine at higher psi levels (over 18psi). It just comes down if you have the intercooling and fuel to run that much boost on pump.

No issues that I'm aware of, except some phantom knock. We were at 18psi because I was just going for a street tune on pump gas, and that's the lowest we could go. Next Spring we'll have to do it all over though with the new engine, and some better gas.

Hey! I haven't chimed in here in a while! Did I mention that my car has a flux capacitor and I was actually going back in time when I ran Aaron? Well I was, and that's why I lost. And my car pulls timing on 92 octane or something. But whatever the case may be, I'll go to the dyno day later this month and thump some torque out for your asses.
