The car sounds killer! Very nice numbers! Was this tuned on spring pressure?

Congratulations!

glad to see it all came together. My life is so dull that driving the Z home after getting tuned was one of the defining moments of my life hahah.

Sounds like you need a motorcycle =)

8.5PSI I believe the powerlab kit is 8psi.

As far as the install goes, I believe the only thing Dave change was the location of the hose clamps, he said that it was better to have it on the outside of the hoses rather then at the 1/4 mark where I had them. This proved true when we dynoed the car and a charge pipe went POP!

I'm very happy with it since its boarder line losing traction.
Most all of the power I have is usable power!

Last night on the toll road a new wrx? "subi 4 door with turbo" was trying to get me to bite, I showed them a little boost then let off. At the last toll, we just happened to both get out at the same time, we both hit it, I was spinning tires, but catching enough to pull right by him with ease. Got a thumbs up from the guy and was on my way.

Going from an open rear to the 3.3 LSD was hands down the best mod I could have done outside of the turbo.

If I had the standard gearing from a 6 speed Z I bet I wouldn't have a first gear anymore.
