I don't remember because I have only had emissions tests once and that was ten years ago...

CA testing they test it at different speeds; idle and even up to 30-40 mph.

no i think the highest hp reported with the RB flash was by Team RX8 with 209whp and then with some tweaks to his car- 213whp https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...&postcount=137

This is NA with custom intake, full custom exhaust with cat converter, AC delete, and race pulley set, engine is otherwise OE, car in full STU configuration from the SCCA National Championship event.

I had all the same parts when I pulled right at 200 HP on a Dynojet dyno with the OE software
It's generally considered that the Dynojet will pull higher numbers than a Mustang, but the Mustang is considered to to provide a more accurate measurement of true HP
the difference is usually suggested to be 5%, if you buy into that then in theory the Dynojet numbers would be 219 hp & 223 hp after the tweaks
in reality though, there's no way to know for sure, you have to take the numbers as only a general guide, not as an absolute measurement

you know... now that i think about it... the RB flash + feed final drive will probrably whoop a greddy turboed 8 (a 240whp dynojet 8. not some of the 290+whp monsters that we have lurking around here 
).
).

Still a great mod for Auto-x / HDPE.

The increase starts at around 5000 rpm, but from 6000 to RL the difference is substantial on mine
The Greddy turbo comment is only quoting peak power, which it's well known the turbo wasn't keeping up the boost at the peak power point. Down low the Greddy would pound an NA, no contest IMO.
