than a g6 sedan? are you crazy? when is the last time you sat in one or parked next to one....?
I sat in one the other day, and I it feels bigger. Like when you sit in the back seat of the G6 your head hits the roof (well atleast mine does and all my friends because thats like the only thing they complain about in my car) but when I sit in the backseat of a STI I have plenty of headroom.
I ninja'ed these from another post, but as of Aug of 08, he had: 93 octane vector tune, K/N cone air filter, CRAB intake, custom magnaflow exhaust, vector HSRK

Here's what one guy was saying over on the forum that hosted the event. This was about another guy's car, but figured it applied to mine as well.
15% is about right for RWD.
20-25% is more realistic for AWD cars. More for automatic cars as well. Also given the DA (density altitude), you'll be even lower on power.
So this there a way to measure DA or something, so I can compare next time?
EDIT: I googled and found a DA calculater using the NWS weather history. Looks like my DA at the time was 2114feet, so almost an exact 1300ft difference from my elevation.
For reference, here are the measurements at the time.
Altitude 817 feet
Air Temperature 72 degrees F
Altimeter Setting 29.91 inches Hg
Dew Point 63 degrees F

So the same website that had the DA calculater also has an engine tuning one, which will give you Dyno correction factor and relative horsepower. According to it, my DCF is 1.027, which would mean my SAE corrected values are 231whp and 222.86lb/tq.
