Stock FD + PFC - HP gains?
I wonder what gains could be achieved with tuned PFC?
I'm thinking about installing stock cat and muffler back (I will leave downpipe)
Can't tolerate sound out of my exhaust.
I will also have Blitz SMIC
What kind of WHP I should count on in this setup?

At the very least you should be able to expect a small increase from un-tuned to tuned (with tuning as the variable, not modification level more/smarter mods + tune will net more HP than less mods + tune, obviously).. If nothing more you would get better gas mileage (OR you can increase boost and tune the AFR's to match, getting you a moderate increase in HP, depending on how high you can constantly get the boost with the restrictions of the stock system..)
With reliability mods and moderate bolt ons I saw an increase from 240whp to 280whp with a *conservative* tune.

IMO, the car sounds good with a downpipe, stock cat and Racing Beat cat back exhaust but "sounding good" is very objective. I'd sooner do the RB cat back than a PFC.

I got PFC already and I have Greddy (Trust) exhaust with Bonez cat
Greddy too loud. RB sounds pretty good but little bit on loud side and e$$pensive.
My feeling is that tuned stock car will be faster then stock ECU car with exhaust.
Even with stock boost levels

Hm. That is very strange. That means that stock ECU very well tuned for performance. Tuning ECU is equal to what they call "chipping" and usually gives + 20hp or so.
Maybe PFC didn't do much in your example because stock ECU was already pretty lean with those bolt-ons.

No real dyno figures, but after installing the PFC my butt dyno saw a small increase in power throughout the range. Nothing dramatic, but it was there.
There are other advantages to the PFC, even if you don't intend to further modify and tune. The processor is quicker than the stock ECU and the 3k hesitation will just be a bad memory. Casual checking also saw a slight (maybe 1 to 2 mpg) increase around town on the base map, not to mention the monitoring capabilities with the commander.
