this is what is on the sheet:
run time: 4:08 pm
run type: RO
Run Condition: 72.75 F
30.23 in -Hg
Humidity: 24%
SE: 0.96
Power 234.23
Torque : 250.84
I don't have a base number...i.e...stock? I thought it's 80% of the crank number.

^ interesting. I was thinking you should be around ~ 250hp at the wheels. I tried to dyno mine and we had no luck as it wouldnt hold gear. We spent so much time messing around with it. I tested the SRT on my GS430 (3gen) and it bolts up and all but I wasnt able to test the ECU. Many of the locals are saying to run the NEO and you will get better results? I havent messed with it since so maybe try that??

I will get the NEO...I just wanted to see what I get with the RACE ECU from SRT. If they would refund me...I would go with a NEO and some other intake. I'm sure they won't refund the money, so I'll keep their intake (until it becomes a nuissance). I also ordered the SS headers...that one is late too (no response to my email).

You've got good breathing, but now there is more limitation on the exhaust end. The S&S headers are the right next step. The combo of these two mods will net an overall good HP upgrade.

yea but the SRT pipe is larger so you will benefit from it. Keep the ECU for it and if you ever sell it I am sure someone will purchase it down the road. I need to pick up the NEO myself or decide what I want to do here. I am seriously considering just boosting this thing and the intake would be useless for me then.

Yeah, you should consider the cost of all these little parts... The NEO can be had for cheap searching craigslist.
Wow..I would have thought you would have gotten more out of it, well if your calculations are correct you lost HP and TQ..
I was going to get one of these for my first engine mod..no I am reconsidering...

U might as well give me that $600.00 and ask your friend to kick you in the head. LOL. Someone else dynoed and loss power with an intake...they never mentioned the name of that company LOL... not with me. I can give them trouble but publishing the result to vent is good enough. Don't wanna pick a fight...so I'm gonna get my drink on.
That's odd. This member didn't pick up much HP, but look at the torque for just an intake.
What gear did you run your dyno in? Also, what was your A/F Ratio?
Also, for the people interested in using the NEO with SRT pipe, please reaserch, don't always belive what you hear. Talk to people that have done it, not stories like, my cousin hast a friend and his brother knows this guy...

50 degrees, just rained. Did three runs, two when I got there and last one we waited for 20 mins to cool and ran it again, last run was the strongest. The dyno I used was a Dynojet, is a dynojet pretty realistic numbers, I know some are higher than others and didnt know how a dynojet ranks. Drum roll....JK, wish the numbers were higher but........
253.2 WHP
281.5 WTQ
I am running a srt intake/ecu, straight pipe where resonators were removed and magnaflow mufflers. And some 19's. I will get the printout loaded soon.
What would the huge drop be around 6k rpms, dyno guy said may be torque converter?

^ I would have been happy with the number above! So, GS FONzy, I've been asking people about the NEO and SRT... no response and no number published. I will be getting my drink on at TGIF in Elk Grove CA. That'll make me feel better until SS headers install.
Sam...I would first make sure that your plugs, air filter and O2 sensors are in top shape. Then re-set the ECU (by disconnecting the neg battery terminal), then drive it like you stole it for 30 minutes...then get a dyno. Your numbers should be higher. I remember my baseline...it was around 253whp with just a K&N intake, Borla rear section exhaust and Torque Master spark plugs...then I threw on the Neo and had it tuned and I arrived at a "hair" under 270whp (I think it was something like 269.4) on the dyno.
