There's a lot of variation in dyno numbers, both because of the type of dyno and the operator. If Jon and Jeff did your work and tuning then you can be confident the car is set up and tuned well. The amount of smoke seems appropriate for PP520s and RC3.

I've had this setup on my car in the past and WHP/Torque on a more accurate dyno is probably in the 140/260 range. I don't know what LUK clutch you have but a '99.5 LUK will hold that power, it did in my Golf.

All I know is local tranny place put a LUK clutch in that fits. They even recommended it, which I was surprised they knew that idea.

My 245/40R17 tires prob dont help at all either haha I say 250 ft/lbs for stock and maybe 300 ft/lbs with the LUK?

5 or 6 speed? If it's a 5 speed 300 would probably be right at the limit with a LUK.

My 04 Wagon has a stage 2 tune and PD150 injectors, if I punch it in 5th at 60 mph, it slips. Its a Vr6 or G60 as it has the single mass flywheel and bought it like this. Stage 2 Endurance is going in soon, hopefully I can afford it in the next few months.

5 or 6 speed? If it's a 5 speed 300 would probably be right at the limit with a LUK.
I can't see a stock LUK holding 300 ft/lbs, that's what SB rates their stage 2 daily at.

It is a 5 speed. I really think the car only makes 120/240. Jon had a lot of time on the phone with Jeff to get my tune figured out. I know the tune has a “clutch saver” and knowing Jon he had torque limited because he is a reliability over performance guy.
