probably 300-350.... however the standalone would be safer, and adding that will bump up the HP alot just by itself at that point.

i would trust that thing as far as i could throw it. It just isn't a good design for that the airflow required.

Hmmm.......I was hoping to get a little more hp out of the ecu and keep it for smog reasons, but I guess I'll just have to save an extra $200 per smog check (If you know what I mean, hehehe) and go with a standalone. Oh well, I guess that's the price you pay for performance.

stand alone is hands down far superior.

just stick the haltech where the stock one goes, and wrap all the wires up with black tape. they would never know it's not stock...

I heard that the car doesn't run right if you leave the air pump on the car while running a standalone though. Is this true? I'm trying to see what would cause me problems for passing emmissions if I ran a standalone. Of course I'll try to find someone who doesn't look around too much on the visual part of the test. I guess I could throw some stock stuff back on just so it can pass the visual.

how many of the emissions places even know whats suppose to be on a rotary anyways?

I'm fortunate that they stopped checking our cars, but still welded a cat shell over my straight pipe just in case a cop takes a look.
