Should have been some where in the 410-420whp range and somewhere around 480tq. The car runs well and was looked over for its 50k maintenance plan (Sears Import) last week so I don't have a clue where to look at this time.

Didn't buy it to be a track car, (and it will likely never see the track) so I am not in a huge hurry to figure it out. Still drives well and pulls decent in this form though.

Swifty, I will try to read up on that a little bit. Never heard of that before but I would think the limp mode feature would pull more performance from it. Still drives well on the road.

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.
