I'm just running Racing Beat CAI w/Ram Air Duct, Racing Beat Exhaust and Redline Trans/Diff fluid however, I installed new plugs, wires, coils and used the K&N air filter cleaning kit a week prior to the dyno.

And that was with a Gredy.
I bet his over all expense was less than Mazports. I wonder if he did all the upgrades that are needed to that kit. Oil pan, return line ect, plus I bet his boost was way over the 4psi norm. Probably 12-13psi.
Also, wondering how long it will last with that Emanage unit. We know what happened to FanMan's.
Still think it's better to go with a full package like Mazsport, unless you know what you are doing like Mazda Manic or hire true profeesionals to install and tune correctly.

2HP less than peterisurhero and he has a Mid Pipe, Flyheel, and pully mods.
(That's not too bad for me.)
Not to mention I drove 35 miles to the sight and then we put it directly on the dyno.
I do believe all others were tested with less warm up. In otherwords they had a chance to cool down. (So, there's the delta between mine and the others)
I wish we had A/F data. I bet I'm running leaner than the others.
Last dyno I had shows me running leaner than N/A dyno's I've seen posted. That is those without aftermarket ECU upgrade.
All I can say is mine is Juy 2003 build.
Gee I wonder how much I can get with RB Midpipe and RB flash?
It would be interesting if Jedi could get milage data from all of us and post it.
Then we can look at it from a differant perspective. I got 27k on mine.

Jedi,
Can you also note the wheel/tire size and brands, and whether or not each car had lightweight two-piece rotors? A flywheel and pullies helps a bunch, as this data shows, but it would be nice to know who's running lightweight wheels or brake rotors too.

Photo: more then half the cars had OEM wheels but I don't know everyone's specs. Maybe they'll post up specs when they see this thread.

Very upset with my results...which suggests that maybe I need to replace the coils/plugs/plug wires.
I was anticipating being one of the highest dyno results, based on what I have done to the car.....but I fear that an old, tired engine may have corrupted my results?
"Performance" (I say this, because I was not too excited about their performance on Saturday) Mods that I have on the car, at the time of dyno:
RB Street Flash
RB intake w/duct
RB exhaust
RP Supercat
Unothordox Pullies
ACT prolite flywheel
ACT heavy duty clutch
Grounding kit
I cleaned the air filter prior to the dyno day, and pulled out the Royal Purple fluids from the trans given some significant gear grind issues (yes, they have returned). I have some heavy 19'' Volk GT-7's with staggered tire setup.
