Default 05 CTS V, built, maggied, nitrous

Been a while since I posted, just finished up the build. Forged LS6 bottom end, cnc ported 243s, ls7 lifters, mp112 port and polished, 1:1 rears, 2.6 upper and IW overdrive lower.

Made 480rwhp on stock bottom end and stock heads and unported blower and pre 1:1 rears.

Finished up last week getting re tuned only picked up 20whp for ported the heads, blower, and 1:1 rears. Seems a little low for me.

Have a few questions, what's the max rpm of a mp112, I think I'm over spinning the blower just creating heat, should I go up to a 3.0"? Pulling 15psi out of it but I know more boost doesn't mean more power, also means more heat, yes it's meth inj too.

Also headers are starting to glow during crusing and if I let it idle after they're still a bit red, haven't checked for vac leaks yet, TB is over ported a bit idle is a tad high.

Yes my AFR are perfect 14.7, timing is spot on, checked lifter preload thought maybe a valve could be hanging open to long that was ok. I'm thinking I'm overspinning the blower and causing high temps causing the headers to glow? No cats btw.

Glowing headers while cruising and idling? Something doesn't seem right
