the 11.7 was cam/stall/headers. This should be an entirely different animal. I honestly have no idea what to expect. Were u running a two step?

I'm running a TC76MPS and putting down 700 rwhp on only 10lbs boost and have not lost one accesory. Ice cold ac and power steering full tubular hot side rated at 1200 rwhp. I had very high expectations going into this FI build and it came out very nice and was not that hard. I am only running 91 octane and no meth to top it all off. Very simple build.

damn sounds like a nice ride you got there. i would like to swap a better turbo in there but not sure what will fit considering the turbo location

52172 you should race gas it and turn the boost up

well I just bought a 5 gallon drum of TORCO. I plan on mixing 16oz to 10 gallons of 91 and turning my boost up to 15lbs and I should put down 825 rwhp on only 15lbs of boost without any meth. There are a lot of guys out there with the APS twins and 408's putting down the same numbers as me and I know they spent 5k more than me building their 408 when they should have gone with a 348.
