It is!

What I'm really happy with is that it's in the ball park of what DSI advertises.

I've got 14hp more to gain if the airbox works well. The dyno was done with open trumpets

When the tuner raised the rev limit to 8.5k some more horses came into play. We are now at 298whp.

Apparently there is around 25hp drive train loss according to the dyno. According to the tuner his dyno is quite conservative, it's more negative that optimistic. So these are real numbers.

It's a bit warm in there, is the heating on?
Yeah, it's a stage 4 engine which seem to produce some heat :D

Joke aside, the tuner did install a air inlet temp tensor so the ECU can compensate for bad conditions. He also installed a oil and temp sensor for the ECU so the engine can shut off if it detects any problems

I can also mention that the dyno is well calibrated. The tuner has tried many stock cars over the years, and the numbers always come up correct within a few hp
