xos ebay core (big mofo)
2.5'' piping long route
injen intake soon to be a full 4'' intake
ported pte 50 trim
custom 3'' turbo back exhaust (no cat)
apexi muffler
tubular o2 housing
tial 40mm wg
680ccs
walbro 255
aero fpr w/ ss lines
evo III head
evoIII cams
ported 2g mani
ported intake mani to match head
1g bov
act 2600
dsmlink

265 uncorrect on pump @21psi on an ebay fmic setup is pretty average for a 2.0 50 trim car, with unknown port work.
E-85 will help make power, better timing advance possibilities and more boost available for cooling.

What does "uncorrect" mean? And why would unknown port work matter as long as we know its all the same all the way through?

I believe uncorrected means they didn't adjust the power numbers for temp, altitude, humidity, to look like other dyno numbers, etc, so it may be lower than you might expect somewhere else.

Also, can't a bad port job hurt power, not help? Maybe that's what he's getting at.
