installed a front-mount, now i have a new car

hey all, i installed the greddy two row front mount and my car is acting like a completely different car now. my mods before the install were intake, mid-pipe, cat-back, walbro, fcd, act clutch, and that's all for go fast goodies. after installing the front-mount it feels like the car pulls so much harder, i didn't think that installing a front-mount would make this much of a difference. oh-ya, i'm still running the same boost too. running 10psi, what kind of power do you all think i'm putting to the ground?

Hehehe, makes you realize that not all boost is created equal, eh? Welcome to the world of applied physics.

There are too many variables. Sure, you can have the peanut gallery take some guesses, but what good is that going to do you? Also, the efficiency of an air-air FMIC is based on the face side air velocity. If you want to know how much HP your car has under static conditions, then put it on a dyno.
