Do you think you'll cross over to an RCF Joe?

Lol hahaha.

You can take care of my Prius if you like. I'm sure she will miss being daily driven while I'm gone for the rest of the month. It'll save you a lot of gas money.

Only mod: GTHAUS catback exhaust.

My advice is to drive the car more. Let your ECU figure out your exhaust system and then dyno again after 2 weeks. I'm 100% sure you will be making more power. Your torque numbers look low too.
Hi! Without the catback exhaust, what was your initial wHP?

I didn't actually dyno it stock, stupid of me but i've seen figures on the forums ranging between 360-380whp for stock!

Anyone with a stock RCF in LA/OC area wants to meet up and dyno their car at the same shop I dyno'd my car at? This shop specializes 1/2JZ that does dynos for pretty cheap. Lmk if anyone is interested. I think this will be the only way to see how much hp the Novel set up actually adds from stock.

I'm around east-west la and west covina area. I can probably do it. Where and how long is the process? And how much?

The shop is Kaizen Motorsports (Jose) in La Mirada, He's my mechanic for 2JZGTE powered GS300. Process doesn't take long at all. Once the car is up and loaded on the dyno, it takes several minutes.

I don't think so at the moment. He's just looking for someone to dyno their RCF where he dyno'd his car after all Novel install. I don't think he dyno'd his RCF before the install.
