I could try re-flashing and driving it lighter until it has a chance to learn a bit. I did all the work on it a week ago, and have been driving it daily to work since then.
Mod list: - Tomei UEL Headers
- Tomei Overpipe
- Invidia Front Pipe - High Flow Cat
- Invidia R400 Catback
Dyno:
I didn't get a baseline since I didn't have time to go before doing the work. Also it was a hot muggy day out. Low 80s 90% humidity. Not sure how much that would effect the results. I'm most worried about the torque dip still being pretty apparent on the dyno. It doesn't feel as bad to me when driving it, but I cant tell if its a placebo effect. |
It is a OTS tune so its only going to do so much, also Tomei has a lot of mixed reviews, so you may be leaving some on the table. That temp and humidity level will make a noticeable difference though.
With no baseline to go off of its really a shot in the dark, for all we know you could have baseline at 140whp, and then your results would actually be phenomenal, or baseline could have been 170whp, and you barely got anything. Also a big difference between 91-93 octane depending on what you have.
The main concern is that torque dip, typically a catless header and tune pretty much get rid of it, or at least drastically reduce it.
but really, i doubt anything is "wrong" resulting in those numbers, so i would just drive it and enjoy it.
