Tim Bailey at Surgeline Tuning just tuned my leggy and I'm really impressed with my numbers! 280 whp, 318 wtq

I really haven't driven it too hard, since I wanted to check my fuel mileage on the trip back. But the few times I did get on it, I did notice a large mid-range improvement. The car seems to drive a bit smoother, too, as it's not leaning out and pulling timing from 3-4k rpm like it was before the tune.

Do you know what you ots baseline run were at prior to the tune?

Look at run 1 on the dyno sheet. 276whp/313wtq <-not much of a difference in peak numbers, but my curves are much nicer now. With the OTS map, the ecm pulled timing immediately after the torque peaked at 3k rpm due to a lean AFR. Also, look at the difference in AFR's between runs 1 and 2. I was running way lean, probably due to the cobb intake.

Looks like you have strong car. you're making similar whp to a VF52 WRX on that dyno.

 

Tim showed me an overlay of a stage 2 vf52 wrx with the stock cat back and the dyno graphs were almost identical.

 

I'm happy. :)

Wow! Hmm..OP's car is running almost 30HP and TQ higher than comparable Stage 2s right? Can that all be attributed to the intake? I thought the turbine was the limiting factor... With those numbers, VF52 upgrades may be moot (at least with stock fueling)...

I was expecting numbers around 250whp and 290wtq after the tune. Imagine my surprise to get 280/318; on a mustang dyno, nonetheless! I was considering going with a vf52 as a temporary upgrade, but after seeing the only slight differences in output, I'm going to wait and get an AVO 380.

TRSCobra, do you (or Tim Baily) get the impression that your car is "special" or that similar results can be obtained using your setup (or similar)? Your setup only adds the intake and TMIC to a conventional Stg 2 and a protune...no other magic boxes right? Was it like freezing outside when you did the tune?

He never mentioned that mine was a factory freak or anything. No other magic boxes were used. I did, however do a few things to make sure my car was running right before I went down there; changed the plugs to 1 step colder (NGK LFR7AIX), changed the oil (Castrol syntec) and the trans/rear diff fluids (Subaru Extra-S), and cleaned the MAF sensor (CRC MAF sensor cleaner spray).

 

Tim checked the calibration of his dyno since my numbers were a bit high, and it was reading correctly. FWIW, one guy who worked there said stock STI's dyno 230-240 whp on that particulat dyno.

 

EDIT: It was 53-55 degrees that day.
