Just got the car back from RRE...

and I think I need a tune cuz I was not surprise with the power I got from it. The car is pretty much out of tune big time.

BuddyClub 264/264
Buschur Intercooler with LIC Pipe
Injen MAF + Injen Filter + Injen UIC Pipe
255 fuel pump
Buschur TB with HFC+Magnaflow
MBC@20
Stage 1 suspension upgrade
Transmission, diff, transfer fluid change
mail-in dynoflash for (filter, fuel pump only)

Installation was clean and all. Nothing to complaint about... except took them 7 days to get the car done (they're hella busy). Idle is nearly stockish. 5th gear finally pull a little bit harder than stock. Handling is a little better. Just need to drive more to give further comment on the stage 1 suspension upgrade.

My question is what WHP and Tq range am I in? gonna put the car on dyno after a custom tune for sure... but i just wanna know the approx. range...

I Am Not An Expert. but cams, turbo back, 20 psi, flash, pump, intake, maf, maybe 320whp? Depends on how much that flash is helping you. May be more than that, like 340 with the cams and if u crank the boost up a little.

Heck, call up TT. THey can tune you with an S-AFC, or ECU+ and I don't think it will take a week to get your car back.

haha... i know... the car is tune for 255 fuel pump and air filter only... so i was expecting the "weird" feeling. I didn't even feel the extra horsey.

the morning drive to work impression: i knew something was wrong last night and couldn't tell what it is. I said the stage 1 felt a "bit" better was correct but it was not due to the fact that the stage 1 doesn't work. It was due to the fact that I cheap out on the new tire selection.

do not get the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 235/40/17. again.. DO NOT get it!

I know I shouldn't compare the eagle vs. stock advan. but man, what a difference. I finally know what "steering response" mean.

I would suggest going back to your stock intake system and stock ECU programming. From there get a SAFC-II and have either Scot Gray or Tuning Technologies tune your car.

I would estimate your HP and Torque to be around 300 at the wheels.

Good Luck!

RRE tunes with an SAFC. They do not believe in flashing and whatnot. Get an SAFC and have them tune your ECU to your current mods. I am surprised that they did not tell you to do that given the rave reviews of their tuning ability with the SAFC on the socalevo.net

My advice to you is to go back to your stock intake and get an SAFC and have RRE or TT tune it for you. TT also gets good reviews on socalevo.net
