Your mods = ? gains?

Being new to D17 tuning I was wondering what mods you have done to your engine and what gains you have seen in return? Hopefully I can steal some of your good tuning ideas and learn from your bad ones!!

Cheers,

Al.

My best mod in term of gains, was when I learned how to use "search" button. From there no one could catch me!

Just to add from my research.
with i/h/e and with Crower cam stage 2 you are looking at about 25 whp, and costing you with labor about $2000. with another $1k or so you will be in the Turbo category looking at about 50 whp.
The other 25 whp will cost 50% less!

there is no way to prove how much power you've got unless you've dyno'd. i would love to see some actual dyno graphed proof for our cars w/ just bolt ons.

I never got a baseline dyno, but on a 2k2 ex automatic, the stock power is very close to 90whp.

First dyno is with port/polish head and header, which was tuned with vafcII (gained 2whp).



Second was after installing K&N typhoon intake, aem pulley.



You can look at my profile for every mod, but the smaller stuff doesn't really add much maybe 1whp so I didn't include em.
