Got a base line run on the dyno before mods?

Run on the same dyno, on the same day, before and after the tune.

In other words:

Dyno's are shit.
Your ass is a better measurement tool.

Ask yourself this, why is your weight on the moon only 1/6th of what it is on Earth?

That's right you are measuring it in a different spot.

You are trying to look at power at the engine (weight on Earth) versus power at the wheels (weight on the Moon). You can't just compare them directly like that.

your drivetrain is eating a bunch of killer wasps.

It's funny that you say that because I had an Ecutek re-map on the same model by the same guys on the same day. I spoke to Dean Herridge at length and found the team very professional and although I didn't get a significant power gain, I got a good torque improvement, which has made my MY11 WRX very enjoyable to drive.

I was starting to think about getting the exhaust done (like your car) very soon.
