My 2004 Rx8

Well I loaded the base calibration sent out by MM and used the dyno feature on the AP just to see what it would say the difference was between the stock settings and the base calibration provided by MM

I did three runs on stock setting, set the weight (including myself and the 1/4 tank of gas in my tank), selected 3rd gear, put 2000rpms as the starting point and 7000 as the ending point. I averaged the 3 hp and tq figures and averaged them

HP (stock settings): 191.4 hp
TQ (stock settings: 149.3 ft/lbs

I used the same information listed above for the base calibration tune and averaged the 3 different runs

HP (base tune): 204.6 hp
TQ (base tune): 161.1 ft/lbs

I understand these may be a little inflated because i'm not sure what sort of accuracy the dyno feature has, but my stock numbers look to be pretty good, seeing as stock rx8's have anywhere between 160-200 hp. The increase in torque was very noticeable and just makes the car funner to drive.
