I went to D.P.E. Great service and amazing people. The guy did 5 runs for me (would have done more if I wanted, but I didn't need it) for $65+tax.
Peak HP was 99.7 HP and peak torque was almost 118 lb.ft. Now we'll see what each mod does. I will get my cat-back from Richard at Brullen this week if he can.
The HP/torque is slightly higher than what a stock 5S-FE gives out of the box. So that's a good sign to start off with, considering the high mileage and being close to oil change time. I am thinking of switching to 100% synthetic oil and maybe going back to 94 Octane from the 89.5 Octane that I use currently. But I will only change gas if the price drops a little more. Otherwise 89.5 gives me great mileage. I would lose a little with 94.
More updates to come as they happen.

DUH! You're a s/c V6... you can't compare that to a stock I4!
But I'm sure SW20 MR2 and his 231 HP I4 would have something to say to you about our "slow I4s" haha

heh yeah I know. But as for exhaust, it will give me 5-10 HP optimistically speaking... nowhere near 20 HP. Those are more V8 type numbers. I am open to being pleasantly surprised though! :smile:
I am gonna get the pulley from Jeff (where you at man?) and that should help a bit too.
Maybe later upgraded cams (from MR2 Turbo) and research the torque converter.
Hopefully a good turbo option will present itself too.

Good to hear from you! Yeah, I wished that we could race again, but too bad my motor isn't too healthy. Even though I'm building the motor this winter, I won't be that fast (maybe even slower!). I'll be dropping the CR by a bit and running the same boost until I can afford to do the FI system. I hope to do the FI system next summer sometime. Need $$$$.
