When I read your post I thought about this commercial. I've read the same stuff but you have to think different tuners different results.

08 mr

40k ETS intake, upper pipe and test pipe. 315 whp and 300 wtq no issues. Just changed the SST fluid recently, noticeable difference after the change in the shifting.

Itching for more power! Down pipe and exhaust coming soon.

Sorry to say but your whp is pretty low with those parts. Also considering it was tuned on Iveys dynojet. Ive heard from many people hes not as good as he used to be. Unless your spending tons of money on a tune with him, he doesnt give it his all. I would contact one of the many etuners on here that would fix your tranny problem AND get you more horsepower for less money. Ivey is a ripoff I hear.

So it seems that way. Although he did take over 2 hours and pulled my car 20 times on his dyno, the end result was a super conservative stage 1 tune on a stage 2 car with no compensation for the SST transmission. I'm looking into other options now. I am strongly considering an E-Tune from Hollywood.

I'm currently running Cobb AP V3 Stage 1 ACN LWG 91 map, Cobb SS Oval Exhaust, and Cobb SF Intake. Granted not that many mods by any means, but the difference between then and now, is shifts seems to be a little harder and felt in the cabin. Other than that, no slipping.

Wow, that's what Exactly happen to mine too. I was told the car makes about 340whp and tq. It happened.on my track days =( Later on, tuner adjusted my sst tabke and increased clutch engage force. But no track event yet since then, only time will tell lol. Daily drive is just fine

Depends on the dyno. My tuner has seen stock MRs make less than 200whp w/ 93 oct on his dyno. Other people on here say that 350whp is "50whp more than stock." That, generally, would be false. That could be upwards of 130-150whp over stock.

Don't have expectations going in, don't put too much stock in the numbers, and just judge the worth by how it feels

It has to be the SST tables because sometimes when I shift out of reverse into 1st I feel like I'm about to stall. Meh... I notice also that when doing a WOT pull with redline shifts, shifting from 3rd to 4th gear puts me at 5k rpm and I feel as if I lose acceleration because I have to shift into 5th so quickly. It should put me at 3.5k-4k so that I feel that I have enough torque to accelerate. I dunno, it just doesn't seem smooth. Something is up.
