Default tuned my EG coupe

I tuned my Eg coupe today!!! it has a B16a gsr tranny with 98 spec ITR cams,Type R intake mani, carbon fiber intake,450 injectors,holley throttle body,jasma header,2.5 exhaust,k series muffler, tuned on hondata s200 made 164whp and 107wtq at 8050rpms. Tuner said I would have made more power but didnt want to rev higher due to stock valve springs. Tell me what u guys think?

do you have any resonators in there or is it just straight pipe off the cat?

yea i know well my old eg had a flowmaster exhaust and it sounded nice but when i took the cat off it gave me somewhat of the sound I have now nowhere near as bad though so i think its just cause I dont have a cat with a stock muffler. what r u running for exhaust?

nice build man.
all motor is always a fun way to start.
you can always boost later.
the gsr torque does make a good difference, IMO.
and for the exhaust, i ran 2.5 on my stock gsr.
straight exhaust to a hollowish fart can.
they don't sound the best on the bottom, esp that zing at like 2,500-3k.
but the open exhaust sound amazing when they're on top at 8-9k.
plus when you start addin cats and resonators you'll feel the power loss.
gl and enjoy the car!
