actually found it right after i posted, still dunno what to think of it.

I need a dyno plot, stat. I'm coming to think that there's something amiss here, either this thing is really in a great state of tune, or (more likely) the others i drove suck the large one full time - and are currently either being sold, or have been sold, to poor bastards like myself (as i almost bought 2 of em).

How can you tell if your ECU's been chipped/modified? I thought that wasn't done w/ Gen3s... all i can see here is that the BOV vents externally, the intake is a cone type seated low in the assembly, and that my cat resides in the rear trunk awaiting MA emission tests. That being said, that's from the few photos of 3rd gen engines i've seen, and god knows what's even stock around here

MuMan - my target is 300rwhp, nothing crazy. I want good response and driveability, with decent fuel economy, and a fun-to-drive factor of 10. That said, i wouldn't mind the bump in power just so as to eat the avg street contender in a quick pull if they're being belligerent (the SiR's 350z and US v8 crowd around here, oh, and those pesky subaru's too)
