I ordered this about 3.5 months ago it finally came in.

Mods:
Dyno Tune @ Brenspeed. Stock = 361RWHP Tuned = 381RWHP
Window Tint

I am taking a trip today to go see the inlaws in Oklahoma city. Maybe I will try to hit some of you guys up while I am out there! Should be a fun drive with my wife.

Prior to Window Tint.

Nice car! Only 20rwhp gain? I thought Brenspeed was touting 30rwhp gain with tune?
361 stock is low for 6spd isn't it?

Black definitely looks bad-ass when it's clean.

Was the 20 rwhp gain with tune only?
361 rwhp, 461 rwhp, or 261 rwhp does not matter, it's just a number on a dyno. It all depends on how the dyno was calibrated. They could dyno test 20 different 2011 GT's on that dyno and 361 rwhp may be the highest. Those same 20 cars could go to another dyno and all of them could dyno over 381 rwhp.
It's the delta (gain) from the mods in percentage is what matters.
20 rwhp on 361 rwhp base is a 5.6% gain.
If that was tune only on 91 Octane, that isn't too shabby.

It was on a 93 octane tune. That was with less than 100 miles on the car too. so I think after it is broke in it will get a few more ponies.

I think the 30HP gains are coming from guys running 87 octane in their tanks then doing a 93 octane tune with 93 octane fuel.

I will say this. There was a noticeable difference in throttle response and power. The tune is well worth it. Also the car was mixed with 93 and 87 at the time. Because the dumbass dealer filled it up with 87.

So it looks like everyone is getting around 25 rwhp give or take a pony.

I really like the CS in black...you can't see the stripes on the side that I don't really care for.

Congrats, and Brent's service and tunes are great. Did you raise the limiter as well?

BTW, love the CS in black and actually the only color that I like that wheel version with.

I've been kind of on the fence about those CS wheels but they look really good on the black car.
