Remember that the car manufactures changed the way they dyno their cars in 2007. In theory the tC should have lost power but instead it increased in 2007... So I am sure it added at least a decent amount of power (like 6-12 HP) from the previous year.

Edit: I guess it makes sense now, why the WRX STi went from 300 down to 293. :D

I believe I am proof of this.

How many horses did you put up?

Just because a car has the same horsepower ... added/changed specs to make things better could only be a plus. We have already proven TRD does read the forums at work so props for them .... so do I. ha.
