That sounds badass. Did you happen to have the car dynoed at any point?
I saw the estimated increases on DDM's site, but I'm not sure if thats with a stock exhaust or to what extent its been modified. I've also read that fuel economy may increase under cruising conditions, most likely due to the tune, with the DDM system; have you experienced this?
Sorry for all the questions in a post that was made weeks ago, but this is one of the setup's I'm considering for my Sol.

I haven't had the car dynoed, but I will when I have Stage II. Mostly because I'll be doing some of my own tuning also, but also I want to see what I have at the wheels. The car on their website had a full exhaust, but the exhaust won't exactly change the power made it's going to more change the throttle response. If you mash the gas right now with my full exhaust you will have instant power. If you had a fully restrictive exhaust on there you will mash the gas, and about 1/2 second later it will start making the power. It may cut another 10 hp from you also. But I honestly believe the you can do it without. Also though, it may not be good on the motor without the exhaust. You're putting more air and fuel in there. You need to get it out somehow faster. The exhaust does that for you...

I have dyno'd mine, you can find all my dyno sheets at http:\\putfile.com\critterman
I belive the final output was 189 HP 188 torque, with a 60 hp and 80 torque jump at 3k.
I have: ddm supercharger stage 1, FocuzTech tri-y header w/high flow cat, Magnaflow exhaust. I dyno'd 146 stock, 148 with ECM tune, CAI, and Catback magnaflow

Who'd you have the ECM tune through?? That really helped
That 2 hp gain took .8 seconds off a quarter mile. Dyno's don't always tell the full story.

Cool, I've always ridden it to 6900. I've started shifting down low now where you do and it's a huge different. You can definitely tell. Think the shifting will be similar with stage II??
It's kinda looking like we may even want to shift sooner with stage II for "perfect" times. What do you think?? We can basically go back down to 2500 rpms and still have full hp it looks like.
