    Good afternoon all... This past weekend I did a few dyno pulls on my wrx. I am a little disappointed and was wondering if my numbers are off or if I was expecting too much. 195.3 whp and 183 lb/ft torque. Kind of weak in my opinion. I was told it was running very rich and needs to be tuned. The reason for my concern is I see all over different boards that people with Cobb stage 2 are in the 220's and 230's on the base stage 2 map. Could my reason for low numbers be because I am still using the 3rd cat? I know it’s a shot in the dark trying to diagnose the problem but any Ideas would be very helpful. Posted below is my parts list.

    2005 Wrx

    Parts list-
    Cobb stage 2x93 oct map
    gutted up-pipe
    bosal shorty downpipe
    2.5inch cat back(still have 3rd cat)
    perrin IC hoses

    I did my 3 pulls on a dynopack dyno.

    keeping the third stock cat, with the Cobb Stage 2 I was getting 227 whp and 224 wtq. Your numbers do seem a little know, I'm not sure why that could be, running rich wouldn't do that.

    Did you happen to take a peek at the advanced multipler? You could possibly just be running shotty gas.

    make sure you don't have any leak. (boost, exhaust, vaccum) Also stock 3rd cat won't rob high whp to be noticed. I made 223/227 when i was cobb AP stage 2 w/ stock 3rd cat.

    Thanks for the reply's guy's! I did my dyno runs on Knowledge’s dynopack. I always fill up at shell or BP. I think it was shell the night before. I will go back through today and check for leaks. If that does not work is there a local place that can tune through the AP or find out the posible problem. I live up in Cumming GA.

    Thanks again for the help!
