To my knowledge, the aftermarket for 3g/4g eclipses is pretty limited because it is overshadowed by its much better older platform (1g and 2g T/E/Ls), so I was wondering what kind of mods it had to achieve these kinds of results.
The one i saw dyno at pas at i/h/e and a fuel tune. I've seen a number of these running low 13's at the track with boltons. Either way they are just numbers. The dyno is a tuning tool first and foremost. Comparing numbers between different dynos is retarded. Also this dyno has a 15% added correction in the software. Thats what we were told by the manufacturer would produce similar results to a dynojet. If most people saw what their car actually makes on the dyno they would cry because they are so much lower than a dynojet(which has now become the industry standard for comparing numbers) would read.
Just for comparison here is a dyno of another eclipse i found with boltons. This is on a low reading mustang dyno too!
