It was about damn time I got that record. There's a more power in this motor once I have time to shake through some of the finer details. I did 16 pulls total tonight, and not all of them were for tuning. The dyno was acting funny, and I was tired to boot.
Testing out the header verified something I've always known - the old borla header I bought when I had a k20a3 motor in the car was holding me back. I didn't know how much it was holding me back, but I suspected 5-10hp. Now I don't have to guess about it anymore. I literally slapped the header on the car and gained HP throughout. No cam angle adjustments, no ignition adjustments, just some slight fuel adjustments to keep out of the lean zone. The A/F is conservative since this isn't the header that will stay on the car (I've got a nicer header on the way, no offense mike :p).
Regarding the header itself, it's a nice heavy piece. Feels more substantial than other lower cost headers like the buddy club. Fitment was good, cleared my stock 24mm front sway bar (I do have solid filled OEM mounts).
