Lost Leading 1 coil on the dyno so the numbers are crap above 5500rpm.
Oh and it's an AT by the way. It went to 136WHP before it dropped on it's nose.
Here is the Dyno Sheet. Remember this is an AT. Yes it's the same Dyno that Mazdamaniac and Chickenwafer were on.

did I read that right?

136 hp? WTF? a healthy 8 should get at least 180, mine hit 186.5 stock and 188 with magnaflow, not much I know but 136hp looks like robbery to me, matter of fact anything short of 238hp is robbery to me...

^Thank you.
Got the new coil today and the car feels alot better above 6000 rpm.
Now all I have to do is see when we are all going back and redyno. Then I will give you all some official AT WHP #'s.
FEEL THE POWER.

If it wasn't for the wife having to drive in rush hour traffic all the time I would have gotten the manual. But the car still handles like a manual. That is why I bought the car. I am very happy with the car and no regrets for haveing the AT .
The paddle shifters are fun.
