It's going to be nice and COLD, I will say that is very weather permitting! Maybe I will take a ride up and join you.

HUGE UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had to share



Got the car back on the dyno today since I was off work. Wanted to get it ready to try for a 9 on the stock converter. We knew the stock catback would be a restriction but didn't think it would be as much as it was! So we pulled off the catback after the x pipe and...


On 13 psi we just made 791 rwhp and 675 rwtq with some tuning left to smooth it all out. We were floored by the performance of this system to start but now the 3 of us are just speechless at this point. Later tonight I'll post a video and dyno graph.

That is good to hear Ken. I know everything is still being test, which is why I never brought it up :)

Yeah, the idea was to test the turbo setup 100% with no help from other parts then go from there. Looks like the stock catback is good for 8 psi or so. LOL

Here's the video

I need to adjust the gain on the boost controller and some more cam timing to smooth it out, but it should roll out Wednesday.

Did you turn up the boost or just remove the xpipe, or both? Nothing was mentioned on how you obtained 13 psi.

Thanks guys


Jake just did a pull at 10 psi before he took it off the dyno this morning. Made 715 rwhp and 634 rwtq. Should be pretty quick tomorrow. :)
