Picking up 19 whp on a DD dyno for doing N/A I/H/E w/stock cats is not bad at all. Your factory exhaust was well designed as was the intake with that little WOT flapper door. Was your car 217 whp stock? If not, its tough to compare going from one dyno to another even if they are both DD.

Yeah good point. My fall dyno was the only dyno i've done, so I had no baseline. I should have really done one before I did any mods but I was a cheap ass and decided against it.

Thinking about it with a bit more of a clear head, if I did the Y pipe and cut the cat, and got a tune, that COULD possibly account for the 20-30ish whp I feel that i'm lacking... MAYBE.

I dunno... i'm gonna talk to RIPP and see if I can score some kind of deal, I wanted the long tubes in the first place, but bought the shorties cause a pair of used ones came up and they were half the price of the new ones.

How much is the RIPP supercharger going to be? Any other dynos by someone else on a different dyno with their supercharger? I guess it's a pretty big motor and the base HP and gains are similar to 2000 Mustang GT with a centrifugal blower.

I don't know WTF that BRAT does or how it does it. They really like to talk in circles about it. It only seems to connector to 1 sensor on the 4G, and it isn't even the main MAF sensor or O2 sensors.

Supercharger is about 4000. Give or take shipping.

I don't know how the BRAT does what it does, but I know it's only a piggyback.

Found a deal for 500-600ish for brembo f/r calipers and rotors. I'm second on his list, first deal he said was pending but has been pending for a while, told him i'm ready to pay as soon as he gives the word so hopefully he'll just pass up the other person if they keep him waiting.

Looks great man. This is jeff we met at the all-mitsu cookout. I am the guy that you played halo with long time ago. You still have the same rims as me haha and they look good. I have seen the RIPP products before and they have progressed further and further for the good. They were trying to supply the 3s crowd a while ago and I think there were two or three people on 3si that had the setups. I think I remember a dark maroon colored SL that still has it installed. The BRAT box your talking about is supposed to be for newer OBD systems that have the ECU relearn issues. This supposedly tells the computer that it does not need to relearn and also allows you to tune with piggyback. Love the new Tails and Im not sure if you had the halos on the headlights back at the cookout. I think you should keep your exhaust setup and get a high flow cat or straight pipe it/o2 simulators all the way back and then dyno it again and see what you gain.(my opinion) Good luck with the 4G modding hopefully youll get closer to your goals!
