Default boosting the g8
a pair of precision 6062's goal for now is to get it done before drag week, turn it up to the limit of the stock **** system. then later work on the fuel system and turn it up a little more. the intercooler is done, charge pipe to the engine is done. turbos are mounted where i want them under the car. now i just have to tie it all together.

Are you running a BAP on your current fuel system? There are people now that are running less power than what you're going to be at and already having some starvation issues.

The injectors run out before the fuel pump. At least for me on my setup they did.

I'm looking forward to your results!

I could be wrong but from what I have seen the stock injectors are good for about 420-440rwhp in a boosted application, the stock pump is good to 550 or so to the wheels.

550 on the stock pump? that would be great.
