Hey guy's decided to start a thread here on my ride, since technically its not an VXR lol.

Big news is that it got tuned today from HP-F , its a Mazedit tune which is a re-flash basically.

Finally got it done after the install of the CAI from HP-F and turbo inlet and cat delete section.

on the dyno day it hit 163 fwkw and then before the tune with the mods on it hit 134ish... I know i was like where did 30fwkw go? But im guessing the dyno was harsher today.

By the end of tuning process they got 183fwkw from it , this was on the higher end of what i was expecting considering only stage 1.3ish.

its a impresive result  and not even st2

So... what? They want you to believe the tune gave you 50fwkw on the same day?

Sorry but I call BS on their part lol. We'll see how much quicker it's really gotten on the 20th

Yeah i know 50fwkw is alot, i believe the end result but not the original one... i dont see how it lost 30fwkw from the dyno day till then plus with a cai, tip and deleted cat doesn't add up even with the dyno in tune mode.

After driving yesterday it isn't as touching throttle wise as Ed's (with sports on), but it does feel as fast should be very very close straight line. The intake and bypass valve noise is pretty sweet again very similar to Ed's maybe less aggressive.

Exhaust wise i don't know need someone to drive it for me lol.

So the on the day increase of 48 peak kw (37%) and Nm was 100nm (29%) is definitely hard to believe lol... But the end results make sense it was marginally higher then another MPS with same mods but i have TIP and was 6 kw done on a stage 3 MPS.  Torque was lower then both but apparently you can't measure Nm on the chassis dyno only on a hub.
