Just got my car back from DB Tune. Dyno'd at about 108 before and 134 after the tune, a nice 24% increase. The extra power is nice. But the best part is that it just runs better overall, feels a lot smoother. And no more CEL

Very nice! I know what a good tune will do for a car.

BTW-What was the torque?

Good to hear! Dan does amazing work. I was also more impressed with the great driveability almost as much as the large power gain. (I went from 158whp to 199whp when he tuned it, compared to my mail order focus sport tune... which I never data logged, so I can't knock it).

He did alright with the tune on my svt as far as being able to drive it but left alot that I had Tom help me cure at focusfest. For what I ended up paying I shold have just let Tom remote tune it.
He did good with the wot tune but was unable to cure my low idle and hanging revs which took Tom all of 5 minutes to get figured out. Also alot of things were left on that shouldnt have been such as when the rear o2 was shut off he left the heater on and there were a few other small things.
550 bucks and trailering the car over 5 hrs one way... i'll give him one thing, he did tell me it was the first svt focus he did.

I also wouldn't trust his dyno for acurate readings. I ended up with 181whp @ 6.5psi and right after me a wrx went on and got 205@ 20psi. anyone else see anything wrong with that picture?

No I don't see any problems with those numbers.

It's two different cars, one which is supercharger, one which is turbo.

You are comparing hp numbers based on boost? For two COMPLETELY different cars with different forced induction and drivetrains? :lol:
