haha, yea its getting late, he gained 16whp with the perrin.
Heres a quote
"Ok, if you have been following my upgrades here is how things have gone for me.

Bone stock:14psi-12psi at redline
211whp 239tq

Then I added:14psi-12psi to redline
VRS 3"exhaust+dp w/ cat and AEM intake
224.4hp 254.2wtq

Day before yesterday:
VRS 3" exhaust+dp w/racepipe/AEM intake/ Unorthodox UDP/ SPP 02 housing/ Rage WGA set at 14.5psi-13psi at redline
244.7whp 267.7wtq

Today:
w/ Perrin FMIC installed
VRS 3" exhaust+dp w/racepipe/AEM intake/ Unorthodox UDP/ SPP 02 housing/ Rage WGA set at 14.5psi-13psi at redline
260.7whp 279.5wtq

I picked up a total 16whp by bolting on the Perrin FMIC at the same boost level. I also picked up 13wtq and larger gains through the power band. Almost identical temps and humidity levels as 2 days prior to todays dyno. Basically we made 4 pulls. All of them were within 1-3hp of eachother. All pulls were made back to back with about 1-2min apart from eachother.

What the dyno is actually telling me is that the car is making more power, more consistently. With the stock IC dyno's done back to back the hp would drop. The car had very little cool down time from the 30 min drive to LUJAN motorsports. Bottom line is the intercooler makes power. Good power. My AFR's were 12.1-12.2. I am also still using the stock computer and injectors.

My suspicions were correct. When I took off the stock intercooler yesterday, it was so light. You want your intercooler to have some mass to it. I was sitting there by myself doing the install and saying, no wonder stage2 is coming w/ an intercooler water sprayer. Dynamicsrturbo(pablo) of Lujan was stunned. Willie was thinking I was going to lose power. Heck, I thought I might lose a little to. Imagine our suprise when it layed down more power. I told Willie to do another run right away and it cam back 260 as well. The third run came back at 258whp. After that, I said"ok, it's a wrap!" I want to thank everyone for their little bits of advice here and there.

Keep in mind the car is only pushing 13psi!! Imagine if I had more fuel and was able to see 17-18psi what the gains would be. Nothing outrageous but I would imagine 20-25whp gains would be easily attainable. Ok, just passing along information."
