What kind of power are you making?
The Dyno numbers really didn't impress me all that much. Let me start at the beginning. Solo SQR-2, Solo Cat Dyno said 119 at the wheel.
Which is just less then 60 under the 177 claimed, but it kept up with other N/As and ahead of a few. After the turbo install, Dyno reads 159, 80 less the 242hp claimed. BUT the feeling when you take off or drift around a corner.....priceless.

The Turbo kit was installed and tuned by an EXTREMELY well known tuner/installer.

Sorry, you're somewhat correct.

GM       177 Crank, 150 Wheel
Hahns   284 Crank, 242 Wheel  (stage II)

I've never seen these numbers on the 6 dyno's done to the Sol, and doubt I ever will. BUT what a ride now.

Stock with SQR-2's and solo cat I averaged 118 first three dyno's
Miner, same set up, plus header, I believe she was about 115-114.
But even at those numbers, I had no problem keeping up with other NA's
...there are a few SC's I had troubles keeping up with  :)

All I know, it's like a new faster toy, but this time, the seat is already worn in.
****mental note**** save for new tires

Something very odd about those numbers. My car was dynoed with an SQR-2 and hiflow cat at 150.1whp with stock tune, 152.9whp a couple months later with a Vector tune. I wouldn't put too much stock in those numbers. How's it feel?

Edit: Never mind, I see you answered that question. Congrats, that's what it's all about.
