So my dad talked to Williams Performance today...they said that got 393 HP on four pounds of boost with the fuel system maxing out at 5500 RPMs, think I'm getting an aftermarket fuel pump in the next few weeks and going for 5-6 pounds of boost. I'm hoping for at least 410 HP.


This is on an all stock motor with the base STS kit plus an FMIC by TRT.

Sounds like it's coming together. Are you running the stock fuel pump and injectors?

I was suppossed to get 42 pound injectors, but I instead got 30 pound ones(mix up), if they an't tune it well enough with the 30s, we got word that the guy will send us the 42s we are owed. Stock fuel pump.


I'm excited.

i don't know if I'd run it again until you upgrade the injectors... I would hate for it to go lean because you're running too small of an injector...

Wideband has read lean about 700 times since it was installed and I haven't had anything(that I know of)go wrong yet. Noone is touching the car except for the tuner until it's right. I'm leaving it there.

Nope. I'm not still 100% sure that they're 30 pounds. I was suppossed be sent sent 42 pound injectors, and I thought that's what was on the car, but the people at Williams said they were 30 pound injectors.


Car doesn't go lean at all.

Yeah, I'd hate to see you just guess and cross your fingers, ignore the wideband and have it blow. It's not like you'll get a few warning messages first.

Thanks for the tips...but I sure don't ignore the wideband. My car was tuned at Williams Performance...they're great and said I'm perfectly fine.

They can make more HP on a given injector NA because the Brake Specific Fuel Consumption is lower than on a supercharged or turbo setup.
