Just got Flashed

I just got my car back today after having it flashed by AMS. Before the flash I dynoed at 308 whp and 279 tq on AMS's dyno. After the flash I picked up a lot of power, dynoing in at 325 whp and 298 wtq. Thats a 17 hp and 19 tq gain. The car feels much more powerful and the powerband is a lot smoother. Overall I am extremely pleased with the car.
My main mods are:
272 cams
cam gears
tbe w/ testpipe
ams fmic
upper and lower ic piping
mbc
ams flash
fuel pump

you might want to change your O2 housing since you might have some restriction on the exhaust side. From what Al said, when your torque is lower than the hp, this is the cause.

It seems like it sometimes, but BigAEvo dyno'd 307 and only trapped 108mph, so it's not conclusive. 108 is low for 307 on other Dynojets, but he may trap higher after some more practice or a new clutch.

Perhaps Al was misunderstood, as this statement is absolutely false and misleading. There are many possible reasons as to why this is the case.

search for evo 8 turbo or evo 8 o2 turbo outlet either of those should work.

I took it on the highway today and merging on was so much fun. The car has some serious kick to it now,
