Default DSMIC and dyno numbers question inside...

so i do realise a DSMIC is likely not to have that much of an impact when it comes to HP numbers... but here's my question...

would the addition of a DSMIC shows up on a dyno when comparing both before and after runs?

if given the opportunity to do a before and after dyno runs, the after would also be done following an exhaust installation, should i even bother?

this question is specific to the DSMIC, i know the exhaust will ever so slighty improve the numbers.

Default Gains from a uprated IC is from reducing heat soak. So it would be best to do multiple

runs of both setups. I dont think you should bother since the after will include the exhaust install

Default gains aren't just from reduced power from heat-soaked iC. Having more efficient intercooling

can and will help the car produce more power.

Stock SMIC is light color dark is FMIC.

3-4whp gain on the maha dyno. Significant

Default I would assume the DSMIC would minimize or prevent heat soak to a certain extent...

but I doubt it'll significantly bump up your numbers.
