My brain hurts. So let me try to get these HP numbers straight. Using the WCF "corrected" numbers, I'm seeing the following:

12/13/2014
Dyno Numbers (Before Vivid Tune)
247.9 hp
250.7 hp
253.0 hp

250.5 hp Average


1/5/2015
Dyno Numbers (After Vivid Tune)
239.6 hp
245.3 hp
251.5 hp

245.5 hp Average

So based solely on the WCF numbers, it looks like you are making slightly less power now? Yes I know this may be within the range of tolerable error, but regardless, those are the numbers.

One of the things I don't understand is why don't the numbers on the dyno sheet you just posted of the 12/13 runs don't match up the the numbers on the graphs you posted back on page 1? Shouldn't they be the same?

Right but based on the guy from the dyno place said the temp was around 12F that day thats why I said I may need to check this again in spring time to verify the numbers. The car wasn't full warmed up he said he could keep testing as he thought once everything warmed up the numbers would change. Also yes my brain hurts as well as I really don't believe it works I think it really changes shifting and other little things that don't gain your hp but make it feel faster.

Got it.

Yeah temp can have a huge impact on HP. Thanks for taking a chance with this. I'm looking forward to seeing the numbers in the spring!

No problem just trying to help debunk whether it works or doesn't through legitimate data.

Also forgot I had 2100 miles when I did the first dyno and after I had 2800 so I did'nt get that many miles as I wanted as I didn't drive down to New Jersey like a planned. So hopefully for spring will have more miles on.

Exactly, the weather corrected numbers show no increase in hp or torque. Oh well.

The Sport+ does the same thing right? It increases throttle response and makes shifting more precise.

Yes but I think this just amplifies that which gives no hp gain.
