Owner: Import Tuner
Dynamometer Model: Mustang Dynamometer

Dyno 1: Baseline

Pros
We all know the Scion tC is a relatively new platform, so the tuning possibilities are new and endless. Since the platform has been well received, parts should be available with time. Another plus is its tuning flexibility. In fact, some tuners have already developed forced induction kits. As our dynos demonstrate it's a formidable car once it's been upgraded.

Cons
Since it's new, there aren't that many parts to choose from, yet. Things will get better with time.

Notes
This tC was one of the first delivered. Despite its relative age, it still has low mileage. During its short service, 18-inch wheels were added. While adding a bit of bling, this could affect some of the dyno figures since the rolling circumference is not exactly stock. Let's see how it does.

Temperature
Air temp @ 70.3 degrees Fahrenheit

Horsepower: 140.4
