I bought this car a few months ago, I believe October. I had the car tuned mid November, the shop who tuned it said it threw down 409 whp. However, every DSM'er I've talked to said that is way too high for the mods. What do you guys think? This is the list of current mods:
Full aluminum intake
Blitz SUS Filter
Walboro 190 Fuel Pump
Super AFC2 in dash mount
PTE 550 Fuel Injectors
Pocket Logger Software for DSM OBD2 with Palm 105 PDA
Forced Performance Ported Big T28 Turbo
Fully Ported Exhaust Manifold
Big Greddy 24-R Intercooler
Stainless 3" o2 housing(internal dump)
Buschur Full 3 inch Down Pipe
No cat (straight through Stainless section)
Greddy Evo exhaust
Magnacore wires
Shift kit
Bored TB from MachV
Hallman boost controller
Buschur UIP
1g BOV
Blitz Turbo Timer(DC-2)
Phantom EGT and Boost gauge in dual A-pillar
PLX Wideband O2 meter
Fluidine Radiator
Flex-A-Lite Fan Cluster
Prothane Mounts
Billet Caps
B&M short throw shifter
 
Yea that is definatly way on the high side. You don't have enough fuel for that whp. Why were you not there when they had it on the dyno? You should have at least gotten a printout of it. How many psi do you run regularly anyways?
 
They told me that they set it at 25lbs during the dyno tuning, just to get a high number to see what it could do, then they set it back down to 18lbs for normal daily driving.
 
Closed for bench racing. There's no way to tell.

Go dyno your car for the answer.
