big difference when running 15psi. i gained 24 rwhp and 2mph in the traps by installing a twin power. Not to mention that my car was tuned again when i installed my twinpower...kan tuned to a lower afr that dave at kd did originally.

^Thanks that's really helpful to know. I'm only running 12 psi and will not be tuning it until I do my complete single setup, but hopefully it will give me some noticeable improvement.

Are you sure? The twin power is gonna allow for a hotter spark which in turn is going to burn more fuel. Burning the extra fuel will automatically lean out the extremely rich stock A/F ratios (not sure how much) and give more power that you should be able to feel.

I was running 13 psi without the twin power, and was getting massive ignition breakup. Once installed the breakup cleared up. When my car was on the dyno, the curve was shooting towards around 300+ whp, but once I hit 6500 rpm, it fell flat on its face and plateau'ed at 280 whp because of the high rpm missing. Once installed my power was better up top, but unfortunately, I was not at the dyno when I installed it. I'm certain that the twin power would have given me around 20 whp, by igniting all that unburnt fuel. I am not saying that the twin power will give you 20 hp, but in my case looking at the dynosheet, a 20hp gain looks coorect. People have seen anywhere from 5-10 increase using the TP. BTW, The shop was full of my rich black exhaust after the 3 runs..
As a rule of thumb, once stock boost levels are exceeded, the ignition should be upgraded.

I have twin power on my near stock FD, all I have is catback exhaust and intake. and I noticed quite a bit difference in power. My once the second turbo kicked in after I got it installed, it was like "WOAH" wtf was that! Great investment even for a stock car imo!

Ive got the twin power on mine and it made a big difference on gas mileage. With what I saved on gas, it paid for itself in less than a year. It provide more power and smooth continuous power through the entire rpm range. Took care of ignition breakup as well.
