Also I think another guy has (or is getting) a Gen 1 (unless it's you on FB).

I've thought about it long and hard, yeah. The AFRs on the car seem decent without a tune, and this helps prove the part imo- especially the fact that it's got zero CELs after thousands of miles without anyone touching the ECU. It's definitely on the list- I do know Bob @ Drift Office would love to do it, too.

I am also on the receiving end of proto product, and I dont know how it happens, but man, am I ever thankful to be that guy when it happens.

There are alot of folks curious to see 3rd party dynos of these headers, ideally on the same car at the same dyno. I have planned dyno days, not just one with the same vendor. I cant tell you to tune, or go dyno your car, but man would I like to see quantified qualified numbers on this header. Do you have a planned build? Not often you see untuned cars with headers, sorta like adding an intake without a tune.

We as those proto folks get to be scientists about it, and have the opportunity to give the community something when we tune, dyno pre and post, so let me just add I am curious for you to baseline your car, and dyno it(my shop has a baseline of our car, not mine specific, but an frs, was it 155whp or 159?) and then we have dyno'd at each major milestone since. Now, I bring my car up to a level, leave it there, create logs, go a thousand miles before upping it another notch, so my build has plateaus built into its timeline by intent so i can dyno as I build.

Yes, I've got baselines, runs with just downpipe/axleback, runs with downpipe/axleback with overpipe, runs with the header added, and also runs on a separate dyno to prove power (the numbers were within 2-3whp overall). Most all of that has been all posted in my build thread, which hasn't been updated since the end of last track season.
