Thank you DIY Autotune for good tune and even help on troubleshooting at the site.
This motor took the "King of The Hill" from Dragon hillclimb against some very impressive machinery, including couple Mitsubishi Evos, Lancia Evoluzione, Can Am McLaren, Datsun 240s etc. 72 cars in total.

Nice. What was up with the missed shifts? Need new shifter bushings or better engine mounts? I used to always stick my car into 5th when fast shifting the 2-3 shift with stock mounts. Not anymore with the awr mounts.

A stock 03 Imprezza just made 180 whp. Still think the dyno reads high?
Nope, never did. I wasn't trying to comment on the dyno really.
What I was insinuating is the Church's dynapack in SoCal is notorious for being the most "optimistic" dynapack in the country.
Our dynapack tends to read ever so slightly lower than the dynojets in the area, however that dataset (cars that have run on both) is pretty small.
What I was trying to say, is even if the dyno does read a little high, the torque from 4000-7000rpm is impressive. Whether or not it's 280ft-lbs or 310 ft-lbs according to different dynos doesn't really interest me, how fast that set-up would be in a fully trimmed miata, let alone a locost, does.

Anyway, I should get back to installing a turbo in miata, all of these dyno plots get me excited...

Yes, WRX. Bone stock motor & exhaust + tuned standalone. Should have mentioned RWD conversion (818 donor). Picked up 10 over stock. I don't think that reads high at all.
Agree, but I don't think there is a miscalibration on the dyno. It reads usually ~14% lower than the dynojet around the corner.

Who the heck puts a stand alone on a stockish wrx? Thats who rom raider is for. No knocking on you guys but if given the option to tune with the stock ecu thats where I'm going unless the build is beyond the scope of what is possible to do on the stock ecu.

Heikki's locost has far superior exhaust than what you can normally stuff into a Miata tub as well as an external gate. The engine is also overbored and forged down low, with headwork and oversized valves up top. It flows much better than what you'd typically bolt a 2560 to.
I'd rather tune my miata than wrx.
