Curious to know as to why you dyno'ed your IS? Were you in doubt about the HP for the IS350? Or did you just do it to have fun?

Combination of fun and to have as a baseline for future reference.

I'm not very familiar with the 370's but I've owned and tuned a few Subaru's and STi's on Dyno Dynamic dynos (they tend to run very low numbers, especially at higher altitudes where I'm from), for example stock STi @ 305hp would run a 220-225 whp healthy base map, whereas Mustang Dyno would run higher numbers and Dyno Jets much higher even. just my comments/experience though...

Interested in hearing about your future power upgrades - please keep us posted as I am hoping to get a 20-30 HP and torque boost. My 350 F Sport is leased so I have to be careful with my mods and am hesitant to put on the F-Sport exhaust and intiake since they will likely not increase the HP and torque more than a few points unless I perform other upgrades. My previous car was a 2008 Subaru Legacy Spec.B (I had it up to 320 HP/330 Ft-lbs) so I am used to relatively easy and inexpensive power gains that can be achieved on a turbo engine.

LOL hate to break it to you but...

CAI = 2-5 hp maybe
Exhaust = 2-5 hp
Headers = 2-5 hp...

A lot of money for maybe 15 hp. Maybe,.

I see! Glad that you made such a discovery! HP is not as advertised when tested in a Dyno
