complete bolt ons + tune and feels the same

Hello I just finished installing on my car the following mods:

Akra exhaust
Madad midpipes
Cobb fmic
Cobb charge pipe
Cobb (catted) downpipes
Cobb air filter

and just flashed it with cobb stage2 sport +fmic.

To tell you the truth I was expecting to feel more of a difference in power. Can there be something wrong with my car?. Did any of you with fbo and tune feel significantly faster?

I just bought a custom tune from hpf to see if they will help me figure it out and send them a couple of logs.

regards and thank you

diego

Did you do a baseline dyno? That would be the best way to measure gains, but even the old butt dyno should register something with a stage 2 tune.

I think you need to drive at least 80-100Km's to get and feel the tune in full effect ...

you might have a boost leak. Also check to see if it's throwing any codes.

Not true, you'll feel the tune in full effect when the car warms up unless something's wrong.

Sorry for never following up. I got the car on the dyno and it pulled 395hp to the wheels. Therefore I guess my but dyno was very wrong and I just got used to the new power.

The tune was with ptf custom tune with regular 92 Ron gas. (We can't get better here in Mexico).

Here is a video of the dyno run and in the comments is the graph. The dyno is dyno jet .
