Bottle pressure is very important. If you want the best power with the 5177 kit, be sure you pressure is about 1100-1250psi.
Re: Track times with 5177? When I dynoed it was with a cut-out, K&N, and the 5177 kit as my only mods. At the time it was hooked up through only one solenoid with one feed line. My bottle pressure was ~1250. My NA dyno was 308/321. The next run on the gas was 454/547 with the stock converter unlocked. I've since added the PT4400 and the dual feed lines and a second stage wet kit. I did spray in 4th because of my 4.30 gears. I didn't want to but it just ended up that way. Bad combo setup on my part I guess.

Re: Track times with 5177? Bottle pressure can make a very big difference. For example, no heater on a 70* day your pressure will only reach about 750psi, which is not good for best power out-put.Do you know what pressure you were running and how full your bottle was. One more thing, if bottle was low and your heater heats to temp, instead of pressure, you will not reach your 1050 setting like on full bottle.
