Has anyone dyno tested this to actually see any real performance gains?

I installed this 2 years ago. I never dyno tested. just by the seat of your pants dyno maybe slight performance increase, getting about 1 mpg better mileage. It was easy to install. I would not fit with the strut brace I had.

It is not tune on the fly. You have to be stopped with your engine off and then turn your ignition on and off and different times through the programming process. MPH and HP vary. I've seen a little HP on my Ford but haven't noticed any real increase in MPG. Honestly; not sure if it's worth the money.

Absolutely...I noticed a marked improvement in performance after using this product. I've used it twice in my car and once in my wife's Miata.

I know that dyno they used for the hp gain is on a 2009 RAM 1500 5.7 (test sheet comes in package) I got mine for a 2011 RAM 1500 5.7 sport. Ive noticed the trucks response is much quicker not sure about how much hp I gained but I've never heard a intake system taking hp. That shouldn't happen because the setup (for any brand really) allows more air flow to your intake. Then this in return turns into more of a responsive setup. If I had to guess ... You might have a faulty airflow meter which in return isn't telling your truck to adjust to the new setup that my be the reason you fell no hp gain.

You won't feel anything really. There's a difference in mpgs through custom tune and the speedometer calibration. Throttle response is slightly better.

Gas mileage didn't really change but it does seem to have more power. More in throttle response than anything.

It will make a performance upgrade but at close to 4000 Rpms you'll feel a little more power , but with cold air intake it's usually good to put throttle body spacer mass airflow sensor and other intake upgrades to go along with your k and n cold air intake

The short answer is "no". It's an naturally aspirated engine with little headroom. Even if it Cobb has a Map for NA 160 HP engine, the gains would be minimal - as in 5 to 10 HP at the wheels. However, check Cobb's website. They have a huge tech area and you can also call them, but non-turbo Subie's are not "tuner friendly". And a proper dyno tune on a stock Impreza doesn't make sense, nor is worth the cost PLUS the AccessPORT you will also need to buy.

No, mine doesn't, but as others say, it works with Lync fine. Probably a marketing ploy to charge more for the "optimized version" ;-)

I have had this programmer on my '96 7.3 for four years. Never a problem, and it does improve the performance . I haven't noticed any better fuel mileage, but it does improve shift points when towing. I wouldn't recommend using it on the higher settings without a full set of gauges -- EGT, Boost, and Transmission temp at a minimum. I put in an extra transmission cooler just to be safe. Running at higher power settings puts extra stress on the engine and tranny and makes things run hotter. Running synthetics will also help keep the heat down.

A quick call or email to Dynojet would be my suggestion. They were very prompt in their responses to me. I don't think this really qualifies as a new brain for the bike but it is more than a tuner. I think you'll be happy with it if you buy it, especially since you should already have O2 sensors. I learned after the fact that I did not, and my little mechanic down the road actually does have a dyno, so I ended up needing to buy the additional equipment so I could auto tune. But at least my bike it future proof now.

Never has, It will run rough but not on certain cylinders sounds like a coil pack, plugs or wires to me

There is definitely a noticeable increase in power off the throttle but I really didn't note any significant improvement in gas mileage, but I added a lot of extras to my truck at the same time that increased the weight such as a sports guard and winch and larger tires. I would look at adding the Fitch Fuel Catalyst for better gas mileage. It is a couple of hundred bucks, but worth every penny.

I noticed a much better throttle response. The key with any filter kit is make sure you have pipes that are compatible and critical to have the bike Dyno set for maximum performance.

Yes, but the best results will be obtained by taking it to a competent dyno tuner. I have substantial experience with several different tuners/programmers including the V&H; Fuelpak, the Power Commander III and V and the Mastertune. The Mastertune, to me, is the least user friendly but allows you to adjust an impressive number of variables.

It does add some power. But you have to have a turner. I put this product and a h&s; turner with dpf delete and throttle response and power are awesome. My turner is not turner up much either.

I didn't notice any difference using this product, no matter what configurations I tried with it. So, I would expect not.
