No point, it'll make a measley 180-190whp.

Pretty sure I've already annoyed the hell out of Shane

We all do, in one way or another. lol.

Looks like a fun car! I have to laugh a little about your power goals--you make it sound like 600 is modest.

It's a 2jz. 600 is about 'normal' if not on the lower side. ;)

Yep, easy to make power, thats whats sweet about the platform. :)

You should name her Lexy instead of Lex. Lex is a man name. haha

Thanks all! I do plan on getting a baseline dyno. Was going to do it this weekend at the dyno day but can't because I have to go up north. So I'll just have to setup a quick little dyno session one of these days for a baseline.

Has anyone actually done back to back DB vs. MAP 2wd dyno tests to see how close they usually read?

As for the "modest" power goal, haha. It's still a lot of power for little old me. But yeah in the grand scheme of things it's probably modest because I'm not going to be shooting for 1000hp like a lot seem to do with these motors. 600-700 is plenty of fun for me.

I do need to come up with a name... Lex just came to mind quick, but yeah I need a good name. Something that can compare in coolness to the Green Dragon, and Saables :)

We have had Mustangs dyno here and then the next day at Hi-Tech for a dyno day and be within a few HP. But weather conditions, strapping, gear used, etc change from day to day and you can get different numbers even on the same dyno. Turbo cars are probably a bit less consistent because the load on the car determines how much boost it makes, so ours versus the street versus a Dynojet can all be a bit different in the boost a turbo car makes. We dynoed about 10 cars here 2WD that we had previously dynoed at the old Elite 2WD on their Dynojet and the numbers were all within a few HP.

Thanks for that info. The basis of my question mainly was if I did a baseline at MAP, and had DB tune it later, is that baseline still halfway valid to see what my gains were. And sounds like the answer is yes because in 2wd they read "close", or at least quite a bit closer than awd.

Car's been registered, and plates transferred to it. Drove it to work after lunch :)

The mod purchasing has begun!! Mod list added to first post :) Going to keep as much purchasing of parts, services, etc... as local as possible using our awesome vendors we have here!! So another thanks to those vendors, and individuals who've helped me out in one way or another so far!!
