Update

First off, thanks to Steve @ DriverSource who did an awesome and meticulous job on the installation. He's an extremely knowledgable and nice guy and took care of my car like it was his own. If anyone needs anything done, Steve is the man. Thanks Steve!

Secondly, thanks to Tony @EPL for working with Steve and making sure everything was good to go. Tony has great service and is a very nice guy that is willing to help pre AND post purchase.

Disclaimer: It is extremely muggy and humid in houston today so I've asked Steve if he could do one more pull for me tomorrow when it's supposed to drop into the 50's. Waiting to hear back.

The results everyone has been waiting for...

Max HP: 464 hp (28% increase from stock K16s - 364hp)
Max Tq: 507 (32% increase from stock K16 384)



I still haven't driven it yet but I will post my impressions tomorrow when I pick it up

Ed,

Did Steve give you any driving impressions? Are you happy with your numbers? Can't wait to hear your impressions after you get behind the wheel. Let me know what time you are going up there and I might meet you.

Ben,

Steve said he took it for a spin around the block and it drove a lot stronger. He was very impressed with the torque gains as am I. I'm not sure how I feel about the numbers but I would like to say that I spoke with Tony @ EPL and he said that he expected a little more and we are going to do some tweaking to get it right. Although I am a little disappointed it wasn't higher, I know Tony will do what he can to get it where I am satisfied. I also think the weather played a little part into it.

I'll let you know when I pick it up He told me that you're going to be dropping yours off this week.. can't wait to see how your car is after

Looks like the 16G is going to prove to be a great option. That is a great improvement, and I know you'll be very pleased when you get the dyno numbers tomorrow. I heard it was in the mid 80s there today? With 50 degree weather your car will really wake up.

Not to sound like a know it all, but going up in power from stock was like driving a new car for me and going to RWD was like driving a new car, as well. I had to relearn to drive the car twice. You're going up in power and RWD, and that car has some serious power. Be careful, bro. Be sure you get some good rubber in back.

Thanks bro for the headsup and concern. Yes, I'm really going to have to be careful and learn to drive the car. I'm thinking a empty parking lot somewhere... just like learning to drive standard all over again
