LOL, well since you know so much why are you on here asking why your sub-par fuel system isnt allowing you to make the power the car should be making? First you act like you dont know what your needing which is ok, we have all been there at some point. Then you turn into a expert & start bashing another shop, LOL.

I find it highly comical.

Whats a good brand injector, I didnt really like the bosch green tops. Also why would the tr6 plug be better?
I have a boost and fuel pressure gauge to install. Fast 92 intake and throttle(waiting on summit). Hotwire kit and debating to use the my msd boost pump or not?
I want to re-tune by this weekend

Title reads Dissapointed in dyno, Just wanted to show my car off, so what your point. Yes, I dont get along with the other tuner(waste of $$$$$$). Yes norcal owner what his face is best buddies with him. Did he take my money yes, did he help me with what im trying to do no.

Back to the car. I ran out of injector not pump(GSS340). I want to at least add the hotwire. I dont know the much just ask some of the good shops who help me(hours on the phone)

Here is a recent thread about a sponsor offering flow matched injectors. I believe he has the LS1 style 60's, you might have to PM him.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/fueling-i...w-matched.html

I would do some searching on the double in-tank Walbro set-up & stop messing around. Its IMO the best route to go & will allow you to grow in the future with the combo. There are several threads covering this very topic. Alter the fuel system to a return system, grab some aftermarket rails, 60# injectors & adjustable FPR. That will support alot more HP than that P1 will ever make. Then you'll never have to worry about the fuel system not keeping up. At worst you'll have to step up the injector later as the combo grows & replace the pumps in the tank as general maintance when its time.

Wow. You guys are nice. I can't believe you all are still trying to give this guy advice. Every time somebody mentions what to do he refutes what they say. This thread=FAIL

P1 is temporary, i originally bought two gss340 for a dual setup but took it apart and used just one. i guess i could reassemble and I have a hobbs switch to activate it. Also im trying to not go overboard like i did with the camaro. I want this car to be reliable and not break down all the time.

That funny because there is a lot of bad advice on this board, especially from guys who don't own a forced induction car when i have two.

You're also dealing with 25% less fuel by default.

id run the 80s, only for the simple fact that theyll idle just as good with a tuner who knows what hes doing, but youll be able to spray e85 thru them also, which the 60s wouldnt give you enough flow for

Assuming youve got enough fuel pump obviously

I dont think his tuner is uneducated but 80# are alittle extreme for his set up. I understand he already has them but he can sell them quick and go with the 60# easy. But its his ride people on this sight can only ad opinions and suggestions lol. What great about this sight is vendors have customers with their work on here, and good or bad its posted take that for what its worth.

I don't know as much as alot of these guys on here, but, (I'll take a shot at it) IMO, that seems about right, (although I do not know the specs on the cam). You can't be making that much boost with your blower pulley setup when combined with those pistons and cam. I made 480 rwhp (M6) with the same pulley on a stock bottom end w/ TFS heads at 7#. 42#ers and a Racetronix kit was adequite for me but maybe not in your situation. If I do anymore I obviously have to go to a bigger fuel system.

Your stalled auto has also got to be cutting back a little on your peak #'s too.

What pulley setup are you running? 6 or 8 rib?

Why wasn't your tuner able to tell you how much boost you were making?
