Chris said that the car should have been preformed a little better then it did and indicated that the SPT exhaust might have been the problem.

All in all, he said that this was a solid Stage II tune.

I am very happy with my tune, Chris and XX Tuning.

Let me know what you think?

P.S. Anyone want to sell me there COBB Cat-back exhaust?

I finally got around to taking some pix of my decals from
GraphicSTI.

The console was painted with Krylon Fusion Plastic Paint - Textured Shimmer Black P/N 2520 purchased at Lowes.

This paint is so easy to use and is better then the factory for durability, IMHO...

Congrats on the tune. I had the same trouble with the SPT catback and ended up swapping it for a Stromung (same as Cobb). I haven't retuned but I expect better numbers when I do.
I have the same camber plates as well (sport version) and Jack at XX was able to get -3 deg. of camber at the max camber position. BSP better watch out for you!

SPT stuff yields such inconsistent results. It is like gimmick performance stuff.

That dash looks AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you sand it before painting?

Sweet journal so far. The dash looks really good, nice job.

Nice dyno, the graph looks so smooth!

Thanks!

I sanded a couple scratches only then wiped down with alcohol.

This paint is awesome and is so easy to use. I had one over spray spot but, you can not see it unless you really looked for it.

I love the SPT catback sound but it is disappointing that it suffers on performance.

Where did you get your Stromung and how much?

I am happy with camber plates, I am going to play with camber and have it re-aligned again (Firestone lifetime alignment)

"BSP Better watch out"?? ok you know me but I am not sure who you are? - there are only two 05 STi that run (reg) with CART, is your car number 568?

[06naSTI]

I put down 296/316 to the wheel with a helix catted and SPT CB. It's not bad but I am sure that th SPT is a bit more restrictive.

[EROCK11]

I got the Stromung used for a measly $300. Yes, I was lucky.

As for CART, I ran almost the whole 2005 (wrx) and 2006 (in the STi) season but took most of 07 off (wedding, work, etc.). I will be back with a better suspension, more neg. camber and wider tires to battle you in BSP. I recognize your car but I can't be sure if it was you in 06. Looks like we have almost the same setup so we can share setup tips next season.
Car looks great btw and that torque will be all you can handle at the autox!

New torque should be fun!

This is my first year autox'ing. I will be autox'ing next year too so tips are good.

CART is now running in Hartford for the rest of the season, next run is 9/23 come by and say hi, I am #125.
