Boost leak test it, fix all of them if any are found, throw a new set of spark plugs in it, then take it for a spin.

My guess would be different dynos and different ambient conditions. Doesn't Al basically store every flash he does? If so all he had to do was find yours and reflash the exact same flash in there....shouldn't be a 20hp difference other then what I fisrt guessed about

Another good point - however - I still had a 20 HP loss after they rasied my boost from 22 to 24. Thoughts?

Plenty of Evos on here with over 100k and still making good power. Im almost there 99580

There was a guy with almost 200k but I think some ahole hit him and totaled it.

Do these cars ever get weak? Not sure hasnt happened yet.

106K and counting. She runs fantastic - i was worried about a 20hp loss - after looking into a few things - different dynos, different outside temps and humidity. (it was very hot and sticky onmy most recent dyno) 20 hp doesnt seem like to much of a big deal. Im gonna throw cam & meth in there and call it a day - that should make up the difference!
