We only have the dyno from after the mods were installed. Unfortunately, those numbers were for all of those mods. The reality of the situation is that the map on the stock ECU is set to maximize performance and gas millage given the amount of air coming in and exhaust going out of the engine when in its stock form.
Now, when you add those modifications, which push more air/exhaust in and out of the engine, but the ECU is still set for the more restrictive intake and exhaust, you're not going to be able to achieve the full potential of the mods.
More and more often with newer cars and technologies, everything is starting to be run through the ECU, which has its pro's and con's. Pro's being that you can achieve great gains from simple bolts-on's. The Con's being that you need to modify the ECU to really get the full potential of power from those modifications.
Now, reflashing the stock ECU is a simple job. Doing that along with the other bolt-on's won't be a huge hassle whatsoever. But it is necessary if you want to see the full potential of those modifications.
