You need to hook up with me when I go to the dyno... Might be in one to two weeks. I fly out to Chicago the 21st, so it will be before then. My time is limited to get ready for the NW Rotor Rally.

When you see the comparison of mine and Sky's you'll get a better picture of what the AP does. Sky should have prints showing one pull w/ the AP, the other w/o, then his car w/o vs. my car (on 89 octane). IIRC, the AP run vs. mine we looked at showed his car making less power in some areas, and more power in others. There were good gains, and there were drops.

I think folk need to remember to not look at a peak number at ONE point in the RPM line, but they should take the graph as a whole.

Post up the graphs, Sky?

All in all Sky that's great news. I'd love to see the overlay on DMPs. Since you two I think are closest in setup.

Did this site crash? I should have more than one post. Heh.

As for the cost of the Accessport, is there more to be gained with a pro tune?

Don't feel so bad. I just bought the Accessport for my Subie last week. I think I netted 5hp gain. I should get near that 300whp mark for a protune. I'm not sure if I should pay it now, or do it later when I swap turbos.

Ken - you have two.

Sky - Email them to me, if you want. If you don't have a scanner, take a photo of the graphs w/ a decent digital camera.

The going rate is 100 buck per pony.

Check the cost of an intake or exhaust.

It does more......... Fixes the lean condition on top end, turns on cooling fans sooner, gives power throughout the whole range etc..

Not based on the dyno plots I saw, from what I remember. It smooths the power delivery as measured, I'd say - but when Sky posts his w/ and w/o AP runs, you'll see not all rpm ranges saw increases in measured power. Some saw drops.

Yes I will definitely pitch in for at least a PBR for Dan if he brings his 8.

Damnit! Your parts better show up so you can set a date. I need to pre-run April's route, but I'd definitely try to schedule around an opportunity to drool on Dan's car.

He emailed it to me, but it was about 350? pixels across; the numbers were unreadable. I've asked him for a larger resolution.
