I did take it up to redline during the test drive though, and I should also mention that it already had 20 miles on the odo when I bought it, so who knows how it was treated during those first 20. Finally, I don't know if this could be a factor at all, but as I work from home it took me quite a while to complete my break-in miles (about 2 months). I think Mike took a lot less time to complete his break-in cycle.

yea my break-in took no time at all. for the first 700-800 miles i followed the manual after that I did my normal break in with progressively higher revs and engine breaking. I got the car right off the truck about 3 weeks ago with only 8 miles on it and now I am at 1500 miles

I drive a lil bit... I believe the car will make more power with some more mileage on it.

That's an amzing picture! Love it.

I am shocked at the result as well but not totally surprised. VQ is an amazing engine and it clearly shows here. I am very happy to see how well it is responding to simple bolt on mods. Hats off to STILLEN and BERK for making some great products. I am pretty sure other exhausts will provide similar results as well. Also, curious to see what kind of number those exhausts will put down.

Thanks Sharif for posting.
