    Zen's Msp Dyno: 194 Hp/181 Lb/tq @ 7.5 Psi

    I couldn't be happier and am very suprised at the #'s I got from from the dyno today. I wasn't expecting the FMIC, SRI, and Exhaust I put together to have added near as much HP as they have. I'm not very familiar with reading problems/trouble spots through dynos so if you have any input post...

    I bought a BOV recently that was used but in great condition. I installed it on my car today with a temporary setup that I put together. The BOV seemed to work but it just wasn't very loud at all. It was about like the stock one just w/ a different noise. I tried every adjustment on the...
