yeah i was thinking a vf34? ive heard they're good. yea i didnt think thry were that big, i just assumed they were sti injectors. probably why it seems to run a bit rich, poppin and crackin

do you think changing coils, leads and plugs could help? obviously not hp wise but just in general

Stop looking at power.

You have gained 22Nm of torque. That is all that matters in the real world (dick stroking contests look at power).

Power figures on a dyno can be altered by weather conditions etc etc. Was your original tune done on a hot day? The correction factors would be higher than on a cold winters morning, I would guess.

You haven't done anything to increase power btw. If the car was running fine before the injector mod will only give an 'overhead'. If you want more power, smash 24psi through it - although it will be as efficient as a hot hairdryer.

VF34 will cost you $1000+ plus install and retune and might nett you the same result.

Yeah mate i understand where you're coming from. Original dyno was also done on a thursday night but was few months ago so was def warmer.

Few people have said the injectors do sfa towards the power, i just assumed a bit more than that.
I dont know much about this stuff really, pretty much learning as I go, and from things I have read here and from you're comments.

Also, I really dont understand what Torque actually is, mate of mine summed it up on how much pressure something can take before it twists kinda? More torque, easier for towing etc? I know 4wds use high torque for 4wding and stuff like that. I dont know how it benefits a fast car though?
To me, i have 250hp, someone else has 220, my car should be faster?

hp & torque = real power made

power to weight ratio = how quick a car really is

Torque gets you moving
Power keeps you moving.

Nobody does!

it's easy to feel torque but unbelievable difficult to explain what it is!

Torque is the movement of force around a pivot or fulcrum - I think
