Except better looking and handling… errr, all debates aside, impressive on nothing but ECU tuning, and exhaust. (no boost controller, or any other aftermarket shit). ![http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n198/shivpathak/405lbft.jpg](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n198/shivpathak/405lbft.jpg) 12psi tapering to 9psi at redline. ---

wow 400 down to 225 by redline. thats a serious drop off. impressive numbers, but im not real big on being able to “burn rubber man” but have nothing left up top. granted im sure a that some simple bolt ons would flatten that out. ---

It’s a perfect graph IMO, 400ft/lbs tapering off and picked up by 350whp looks great to me. ---

And where you are pointing, the HP curve is still up at 350whp. I agree exactly at 7000rpm the torque and HP fall of dramatically (i suspect due to back pressure, the hotsides face each other with a “T” shaped downpipe, and due to the 12psi - 9psi taper). But with the mountain of torque behind it in the RPM range you can afford to shift at 6750 and still be in the powerband. You know, power under the curve. Which if you follow it, is extremely flat. Torque gets you moving, HP sustains it, ya know? ---

> [@articzap](#): > > meh, supra ftw Which would you rather drive a date in, or on a road trip? > [@Daddie](#): > > lol @ looks nicer than a supra. well, it doesn’t look “boy racer” - that’s been a big plus in my book recently. As Mike said, better boost control w/ less taper, maybe some other light mods, and this thing would be RETARDED FAST. Hmm, I wonder if you could re-tune it to run on E85, at a much richer AFR - I remember seeing what the Exige S picked up with just new fuel / retune. I’m by no means saying this is a perfect car, but it seems pretty close to that Swiss-Army-Knife one-car-fits-most-needs kinda thing, or at least an awesome Daily. ---
