Don't kid yourself. Stock, this car is fine for commuting. Start modifying it heavily and that quickly becomes short-lived. With all due respect..

How about a V8 geared for towing? Must be because of the focus on MPG, but hp and mpg don't really go together.

Edit: Did I just fall into a troll trap?

I can assure you he is not a troll.

you realize that showing part throttle, sub 3k will look like nothing on a dyno correct? thats all in the street tuning aspect of live tuning. dyno plots are for WOT power pulls

I hope that is not directed at me. We're on the same page.

I do go to track days and occasionally floor it on on-ramps but aside from that I keep it under 3k. I wouldn't say I never push it, just not as often as you hooligans.

Who tuned the car?

Bobby the tuner at PRE Racing, Portland, OR. Now works at Silverline in Portland. He's tuned several of the PDX cars.

Not all all, more of a general statement

Seems to be a decent tune

Installed my intercooler, for me pics and details check by build thread:

Some oil in the elbow (I don't have a catch can):

Received some new goodies thought worth sharing as the price and quality superb.

Bought 3 sizes of the @Receseng pulleys, opted for the blemished pulleys due to them being $30 cheaper, I can't find a single defect so there quality assurance must be impicable. Belt runs perfect on these pulleys.
I get why all of you in the States run the 70mm the power delivery over the 75mm puts a on my face.

Opted for the D1 Spec Oil Catch Can, as the local Subaru racers use them and highly recommend. For $100 this can is super quality and well made. Battled to find a easy spot to fit, so once again the tower brace came in handy, just uses U bolts to clamp. Took for a spin after 100km could see small amounts of oil in the clear pipes, so it works. Will change the clear pipes to proper black rubber pipes next week.

Then something small, but also highly recommended by the race team, is increasing your radiator cap pressure, our OEM cap is rated at 1.1 bar, I increased the cap pressure to 1.3 bar. I got the TRD cap initially, but opted to get the D1 Spec to match color.
Upping the valve opening pressure of the pressure regulator on the radiator cap to allow higher radiator pressure increases the boiling point of the coolant, reduces bubbles, improves cooling, and generally maximizes the cooling performance of the radiator.

Here some pics installed.

What belt are you running on the 70mm pulley?

[Ryan86]

I using Blue Gates on all the pulleys from 75 down to 70mm

BG on 75mm bitch to get on, 70mm it's ok

I downshift to 5th or 4th depending on what my intention is.

Edit: I have this SC with a brzedit tune and no lag. 277whp dyno dynamics uncorrected, looking for over 300whp on E85 and injectors/pump.

Who? Anyone at a a stop sign or light. Or anyone not wanting to fuck up their engine before the thermostat opens. That's who. Good you answered your own question. You obviously haven't looked at a lot of supercharger dynos compared to stock below 2.5-3k. Read some of the impressions of some supercharger installations having lag. While a well dialed in tune can help, I'm not sure it will always be the fix for such issues. Believe me, I don't need a lesson 101 from you about a twin-screw lysholm positive displacement compressor or any forced induction methodology. If I did, I would have asked so don't be so flippant in your response.
