Many of the NA mods and lightweighting will not show on a dyno, but on the street it is a different story!
30% gain NA is only some cheap bolt on parts and a very good tuner away.

These are typical gains for typical modifications here in AU.

Typical untuned = 110-115kwatw, (mine 115)
Tuned with cheap fruit = 148kwatw (198hpatw)

Sorry, 28% gain over stock

The biggest mistake people make when it comes to adding power is their choice of tuner.

A poor or average tuner, using quality parts, will still give you a poor tune

A tuner, with years of experience in building/tuning/racing at the pointy end of Australian motorsport is easily worth the extra outlay.

Clink the link in my signature for build thread if your interested.

I'm happy to discuss further into the how's and why's of my choices.

Keep it in my thread though so we don't clutter up this one.
