Not too many responses here. I know there are a ton of APS owners on this board. At least 50 for sure, maybe 100....

I'm trying to remember as I don't have a graph but I think I made roughly 630rwhp on 13.5psi and 660rwhp on 15.0psi. Tune was rich and safe- 92 pump, no meth and 14* of timing. 60lb injectors were maxed way the hell out. This was through a T56, stock rear, dual low-profile cutouts before the junction in the Y-pipe and on a dynojet. I need to give the fuel injectors some help so I will be adding methanol injection this summer. I'm going to put the IAT sensor right in front of the TB, plug the intercooler and spray meth before the IAT sensor so I can tune to pull timing in case it fails. Shooting for 700rwhp on 13psi with 18* of timing and 10.0-10.5 a/f.

We have three cars at the shop right now getting APS twin turbo kits with upgraded turbos. Each car should make over 1000rwhp!

I put down 837 rwhp and 944 rwtq with my 402 and M6 at 16 to 17 psi with the standard kit and a day after the dyno pull my turbos smoked. Getting new bigger ones real soon should be near 1000 rwhp in a few weekes or so. I could'nt stand the ugliness of the stock aps intercooler I had to make it match my car.

From where you're getting the bigger turbos? There was a thread about upgraded turbos not available from APS because they refuse to sell them?

I guess LG, right?

APS has been selling a larger turbo upgrade for the F Body twin turbo system for the last 6 months or so, pm me if you need any info.

Worm boy and Denali08 what injectors are you using to get 1000rwhp. I dont think my 60# are going to make it. I'm now looking at the new 80# ones.

I am using Racetronics 79# high impedance injectors with no meth just a 109 octane 91 octane mix and still have plenty of injector to reach 1000 hp safely.
