Hmm... I wouldn't say the performance falls short, just heavily skewed towards the top-end where it is still arguably the best performing header on the market. PTuning stated one of their design goals was to minimize sweep in front of the engine to keep engine bay temps down, so they were probably limited on space for runner length (and possibly midrange power).

I think his E85 % content was higher when he tuned his car. mine was at only e55. I suspect his ethanol content was higher than mine.
Yeah it sounds like you picked the right header for your driving style. Glad you're happy with it setup - it looks like it'd be a lot of fun in everyday driving.

I'm not a dyno expert, but OP's dyno run looked like it was using a standard 1.00 correction factor. I didn't see a correction factor listed on the @PandaBRZ dyno chart. Do you have some reason to believe it was using a large CF?
