Yeah, dynos are pretty to look at, but how something drives is hard to put on paper is my point, know wah ah mean?
(No offense meant to anyone! Just wanting to see a controlled real world review!)

I have nothing on my car but the vortech kit + Perrin exhaust with sway bars and strut tower bars. I have stock wheels with sticky tires. No ground effects lol.
Nearly every professional review of our car has said "the car needs a little more power". This kit gives the car exactly what they are all asking for. Yes, a mustang GT will still beat me in a drag race. If that is what concerns you, there are big power kits out there for you.
With the Vortech kit and Perrin tune the car feels like it has plenty of power. It is much faster without changing the superb handling characteristics and instant throttle response of the car.
FYI for anyone who cares about this sort of fake comparison:
225 whp is roughly 265 hp at the crank. (given a 15% loss) (265*.85=225.25)
2013 FR-S with Vortech kit
2750 lbs / 265 hp = 10.38 lbs per hp
2013 BMW 135i
3373 lbs / 300 hp = 11.24 lbs per hp
