Don one more question..
I talked to a few guys about boost today and they said its addicting sooooo

If I ever plan to add pistons and rods to my shortblock they suggested the D1 now so I have it for a later date

Honestly if u had an incling of going to a forged bottom end in year or 2 would u go D1 now?

I already explained why I run the other.If you want a D1 just get it.We both know you will probly get rid of the car instead of building a motor.If you go D1 we will put in a restrictor to up midrange boost.

I will not get rid of the car u asspipe
U break my ***** as bad as I get u nuts with my nonsense

I was looking at some dyno sheets and the P1 along with just the longtubes,valvespring kit and meth makes incredable power...I dont think I will go D1 or forged internals down the road after seeing some of these dyno sheets..

Could u post a few A4 Procharger dyno sheets for me Don?
This FI stuff is awesome,I am gonna do it

Hey where did that thread from last night go? That was interesting conversation.

JS, you should also ask if the 8 rib belt is necessary for a low boost P1 set up.

GTO's come with 8 rib setups. F-body's I always recommend the 8rib too.

As for graphs - An A4 will look exactly the same as a M6 if the tranny is locked.

JS, just do it already.. I have been suggesting this "Boost" thing for a long while now.. I think since the first GTO!

You have the requested PM as well...
