Thanks Slee256, so you are saying with the Tactrix cable you have not had any warranty issues?

the cable allows him to revert to his stock tune, and in 20 minutes he can remove the boost pill and revert to the stock one as well. while its a decent idea, it limits you to the amount you can mod. Furthermore Slee, 261,274 is cute and all, but without a baseline number to go with it on that dyno, it doesnt mean a heck of alot bro

I totally disagree. While gains are a useful statistic, so are maximum power and torque figures, as long as the numbers are valid. In my case, the first set of numbers were faulty due to a malfunctioning dyno. However, the problem was corrected and the dyno was recalibrated using a vehicle with a known horsepower and torque output. My car was then retested and the resulting numbers are now accurate, despite your repeated efforts to undermine my credibility, which you have a tendency to do to everyone who posts comments or threads on these forums. So, bottom line is, believe what you want to believe and keep on bashing all the users and sponsors on this website if that's what makes you happy!

im not bashing you at all. Ask anyone on here, power numbers mean NOTHING without baseline, no matter how corrected the dyno in question may be or is supposed to be. The simple fact that each dyno is different, given changes in climate, elevation, tuner, settings, age, etc makes it impossible. there is no denying that the car made gains, but without knowing stock numbers, the resulting numbers are nothing more then a estimate on that particular dyno, that day.

My dyno pulls around 200 whp stock on the ralliart. AMS is around the same, and so is GST, Other dynos like RRE, TTP, AWD and so on come in higher and lower, ranging from 190-230. That fluctuation makes the lack of baseline numbers in your case an issue. I pulled 196 stock, and 267 at my current setup. Maybe i would pull 280 on the dyno you used, there is no real way of telling without the baseline figures. But again, ask anyone.
