stocks springs... i have been thinking of switching the springs also, but im not going to be driving the TL much longer anymore... i hit the point where i want something more performance orientated so i can go do more stupid stuff with my friends but if i did get springs i would probably go with ground control coilovers instead...

                                      Haha, true, "had" a TL. No mods on the CL yet. In time for sure. But honestly, I'm not going to do too much, other then tint, lip spoiler, rims maybe, and put in my stereo.

                                      didn't even hit 7,000 RPM
                                      ok so on that dyno it says your max power is 140hp right? so if you started from 176hp, then a 20% loss of power would be 35.2hp, so that would bring you to 140.8hp... hmmm, and isnt the TL supposed to be underpowered so that would mean you wouldnt have any gains from your intake or everything else you had installed. then again it could be possible you needed a tune up or something, and didnt you say you had a hole in your exhaust manifold? would that affect power.. i wonder what a 2.5TL dynoed when it was new im just curious how much power our cars put at the wheels

                                      but if you look at the dyno, he only went up to 6000rpm, whereas our cars redline somewhere around 6800ish... could make a small difference maybe hitting redline?

                                      true, but i highly doubt that our peak horsepower is between 6000-6800rpms

                                      and the dyno does look a little funny with that peak and then valley and then slight climb
