Reading this whole thread I don't see why so much money was wasted and still didn't make nearly as much as mine. I had no ECU or meth or spark plug upgrade at all. From what I remember I changed the pulley (I forgot what size) and got the belt super tight along with a Synapse BOV and intercooler upgrade and made 356 to unknown. Ran like a champ with no hiccups

Is your car tuned or just stock ecu? Does the synapse bov make a difference in power?

All that work to only make 362hp and 324 torque? That's terrible. At that point I'd rather LS3 swap and make those numbers from a stock V8.

Well thnx for answering my question and just so you know, hawaii has high humidity and the air sucks. Most mainland cars run about 10% weaker on the dynos in hawaii... Hey for a 100whp its not bad and it definitely runs a lot quicker now that im in cali... Yea good luck trying to get everything in the car to work normal with the engine swap.

Beez43 no ECU or anything lol I forgot the issue I had that made me switch to the synapse but it wasn't for power, BOV does nothing for power IIRC

Since I haven't sold my supercharger setup yet I'm upgrading to a precision intercooler ...I've read other members claimed an increase in power when moving to a larger intercooler

Is that a Precision 550 core? I used a 350 core on my 400whp Civic and didn't have any issues with efficiency.

Generally speaking, JUST upgrading the I/C won't necessarily do anything to your performance numbers as long as the core's efficiency is not be maxed. Larger I/Cs definitely look cool however. LOL!

Part Number:*PIN053-1010, good for 650hp. Won't make nearly that much power but I want a bigger intercooler to fill up the whole open on the bumper
