GSR's dont have V-Tech. I'd guess you should be making around 160-165whp

I would do a compression test and then post the results back on here.

Why so big of a throttle body on a stock motor?

from all the dyno tests ive seen, a factory throttlebody is fine for a fair amount of power. it doesnt even do anything on a stock motor lol. The best thing you can do to that GSR is upgrade the Intake manifold to a Skunk2 or whatever you feel. THEN just maybe the throttle body would be in its element. someone prolly put it on for the "bling"

I had to turbo charge my Gsr to get the power I wanted. You should probably think about doing the same thing. Then you can put down 300 to the wheels!
