Dont know what the duty cycle is but my guess is they are about maxxed out.

Nothing else done to the fuel system besides 340l pump and injectors. Just added new fuel rails the other day though. Factory wiring and lines. Going to go with some 60+ injectors soon though.

If I had to guess(since I have not had it on the dyno with the new turbo) I would say about 650rwhp or so at 15psi.

I have some wrk to do on my trans and tune and then I will dyno it again. Prob in a months time I will have actual numbers.

What power did you see in the 10psi+ range?

i have some 317s, on a 370, 88mm turbo at 15psi. i havent pushed a drop of water with them. i dont know how much power im making but.

im maxing out my injectors, 60lbs @65psi base pressure boost referenced. duty cycle 120%, 115.8mph in the 1/8on a couple test runs.

they were brand new though, some people sell them used and they have been planed. any meat off the deck will make them lift earlier. Also they have been ported pretty heavily. its all in the tune

on a dyna pak at 12psi it made 694 at 6000. so about 650 on most others
it also trap 128 in the 1/4 shifting at 5500 rpm(1.9 60ft). which come out to about 650 as well. so 15 psi should be more for sure.
do you have a AFR guage in your car?
