Wow another reminder, I bought an SAFC-II sometime last year and never installed it on my car. What performance mods, if any, do you have on the car? About how much of a hp increase do you think you got from installing it?

I had mine dyno tuned on 2/2/08 with just a Borla rear section exhaust, K&N intake and TM spark plugs...my baseline was at around 252whp and 279 wtq. After the AFC Neo install and tune I got 268.1whp and around 296wtq and that all was done with a crack in my Y-pipe! I am having the new Y-Pipe installed tomorrow @ my friend's shop. So the properly tuned AFC will yield around 16whp and around 17wtq! It's a great add-on mod for $275 assuming you don't have the SRT intake because the piggyback computer will not work with this AFC.

Any idea what a stock GS3 pushes at the wheels? I'd like an idea of where I'm starting from.

sorry, i meant as in power adding mods.
I know Rock-a-lex made a huge torque gain but I guess it's not an isolated case.

You're at around 180whp stock. Since the GS300 stock is rated at 225hp (crank), you multiply that by 80% (because there is an approx. loss of 20% of power from the drivetrain in our cars) and you'll get 180whp.

The GS400/GS430's are around 240whp but some have seen as low as 235whp and some have seen as high as 245whp...stock.

I would guess between 170-180 depending on the year because some made 225 and some made 220 to the crank.
