I also had my car run on a dyno on the 3rd May 2005 on one of the Dyno Days held at Hi-Comp Performance. Its just one of many days they hold throughout the year and I found this out through PGA. This is the result:

The power rating is 92.3kW at the wheels. Though from what I read from the PGA forums, US dynos work differently to Australian ones. When it ran a lot of people were surprised to see the results. People were asking me what mods I have done and all I had was the full exhaust system. Later on I am considering doing a few more mods but probably not engine wise. More towards handling etc.
This page will be updated throughout the course of its lifetime, assuming I do any modifications to the car.
