Ok, when we last left the Ex he had just gotten a new header and experienced no power gain. To recap...
Stock-16.9 @ 85.3mph--- 104 whp
+Thundermuff Cat-back- 16.6 @ 87.4mph--- 114whp
+DC 4-1- 16.7 @ 88.1mph--- 112whp-- Wtf??
Now, I was trying to sell the high flow cat that I got because it was too small, but instead I just fabbed up an extension with flanges on either end so now it fits. + a high flow cat. I have been reading about ECU's and decided Hondata and the cost of tuning it was a little out of my price range, so I found a socketed ECU and bought a Skunk2 chip from a local guy. + Skunk2 chip. I was really anxious to test the chip so without further ado...
+ high flow cat

Sa-weet. I got a crazy increase in mid-range. That's a half a second improvement and 3 mph faster in the 1/4 mile.
I only had the chance for one run since a car was coming down the other end of my midnight run back-road dyno, but I am gonna run a Hp pass tonight on the way home.
i had a gtech for a day....yuck. we pissed around with it for the better part of a day, and it never reflected what my car actually ran.
how much have you spent ths far sniper?
Is anyone running that laptop software they make for this kind of thing? I forget what its called, but it reads HP, TQ, 0-60, 0-90, 100-0, plus 60', 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 mi times? I've heard its quite accurate as long as you have a laptop fast enough to keep up with it. Comes with all the diagnostic stuff you need too, including the cable to hook up to the car's computer. I've been trying to find a place to DL it (free of course), but have had no luck

when in college i had a very in depth desktop dyno program. you had to enter just about every spec of your engine, from engine bore and stroke, cam lift and duration, valve size, volume of air intake, so on...and the more questions that you could answer accurately, the better it was. it also could guess your ET and MPH, and it was usually within 2 tenths of being right, but i didnt know things like elevation, air density...stuff like that
