Exactly. Every claim you see is done at WOT. All manufacturers test that way.

I understand, that's why I'd ask to see the graph showing how the stock curve -vs- their modified curve compare.
If it only adds 5HP and 10ft/lbs but way above stock RPM's, I might skip it. Double those #'s or more... meh, I might go for it.

I just meant that if I can improve the #'s of my engine, I'm all for it. I may not necessarily use that power, but knowing it's there if/when the time is needed is nice to have.

I doubt they are seeing these gains above stock rpm maximum. I'd be willing to bet they are seeing the power sooner than later.

Because they test before and after in the same rpm max. Wot is the only way to test on a dyno, that's how it works. You can't test "1/2" throttle, first now are you going to get the same throttle every pull? If you can look at the dyno graphs you can see where the rpm gains of a particular product are made. If you still don't like it, don't buy.

The only way to raise rpm max is to tune.

I like that looks of that power. Thanks for posting. What mods do you have on your Eco?
