I'm proud to announce that SpeedCircuit is now an EcuTeK dealer.
We started tuning on my very own car today. We couldn't get time to get on a chassis dyno, so we made due with what we had, which was the Auterra Scantool Dyno (http://www.evoxforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5801). Obviously it's not a true dyno, however the numbers it generates are consistent, which allows us to easily see gains.
If you recall, the car bone stock put down 258whp on a DynoJet chassis dyno:

The car definitely made more power with the SpeedCircuit catback, UICP hotpipe, and the midpipe. With these mods, the scantool reported a peak of 250hp @ 6400 RPM. Obviously this is a very low reading when compared to what the DynoJet numbers would be. With those mods, I would expect to put out 285whp or better on a DynoJet. That's neither here nor there, but the point is to note that the numbers I'm reporting will be significantly lower than the numbers a DynoJet would generate. However, what is important is how they compare to each other.
After a little tweaking and flashing with the ECUTeK, we managed 302hp @ 6600 RPM - a 21% gain in power! I would expect this to be in the 320-350whp ballpark on a DynoJet. Not a bad start.
Rest assured there is still more work to be done and more power to be tuned out of this motor, so expect to see even larger gains soon. The SpeedCircuit crew will also be taking a trip to the Dyno in the near future to get some good, solid dyno graphs for you guys.
I just wanted to let everyone know that we are working with the EcuTeK, and will be developing some kickass flashes for the Evo X.
