Ran to DSG for lunch today and Matt squeezed me into his schedule so I could have a tuned car for the hillclimb. Yay! It went well.

Two things: the car made more power than I could possibly imagine. It's like Ben Kenobi after Darth Vader struck him down. AND Matt, the genius that he is, found out that that there is no vacuum leak, and fixed the weird idle. The car feels SO MUCH better now. Plus fast.



Now, 146.4 may not seem like a lot to you. But let's take a look at what this means. With the stock motor, it made 55 at the wheels. This is TRIPLE THE POWER of the last motor. Which was a bored 1293cc cammed / headered / intaked tweaked A+. And this thing is BONE STOCK!! With a 15% power train loss, 146.4whp equates to about 172bhp. That's just awesome.

And note the smoothness of the line. There is no HONK when VTEC comes on, so I won't die. Again; nice work Matt.

I am pleased.
