Picked up my car from Rick over at Synergy on Tuesday. All I have to say is thanks. This runs like a champ, and know you still want to do some more tuning next to dial it in even more. Well to the fun part. The car dynoed 540RWHP AND 510TQ. The feels unbelivable. I didn't think my car would feel this strong. Hats off to you and Sean.

Nice! When you get a chance get some freeking valve springs :-)

Couldn't believe it when I heard they were still stock.

11psi makes for some unhappy stock springs

I know, I need to get some aftermarket pushrods and valve springs. Hopefully in the next month I will get them.

Does he have an aftermarket cam with a higher lift or is his reving the engine higher than stock? If he isn't doing either of these things, why would he need aftermarket valvesprings?

because the boost works against them and can cause valve float.

lots of examples on this board over the years where power took a dump around 5k, change the springs and viola power never drops off.
