I'm doing my headers and exhaust next year. I'm not looking for hp gains, just more rumble.

Those are odd results on your dyno, did you run before the tune? Or is that 330 at the crank, which to your wheels would have been lower stock. I know mine is lower at the wheels, even though it's sold as 426 hp. I don't recall the difference though 20-30 less give or take.
ya we did run it on the dyno before the tune

baseline runs was 259.4 and after the tune 264.7 i was reading that i could be losing around 35% of the power from the crank to the wheels

there was just nothing to gain and the fuel and air mix was around 12 to a peak of 14 something so it was still running safe without going to lean

the only way to get really power from these car are force induction, going to only run 7 to 8 psi so i don't have to start playing around with tranny mods or engine internals. but i am sure this will go out the window the fist day a civic pulls up to me and leaves me in his dust lol i have seem so crazy things those guys are pulling from their engines

here's the killer, i was looking at the lotus evora or the bmw m4 both were around 94k mark but i wanted to save some money and bought the g37. by the time i am done with this car i may not be that far off the price some times i really wish i think things though instead of flying of the handle and just doing it
