dynotune wet kit results on lt1
The car is a made 325 on motor and 426 hp and 468 tq on a 150 wet shot at 900 psi. my bottle heater was not getting any hotter than that. The horse power seems low to me for a 150 shot but it runs well and was tuned for safety. Any suggestions on why the hp was so low?

I am running a Two stage 200 shot and getting the 150 at the wheels. I am not up on the LT1, but on the dyno a fresh bottle with the same jetting was good for a 30 HP gain. My Base HP NA was 300.
We went with the 50 Dry @ 3000 and 150 @ 4000 RPM Bottle had a bunch of runs on it at this point
433.9 HP 485 Torque
Same jetting as above 50 Dry @ 3000 and 150 @ 4000 RPM but with a fresh bottle
466.8 HP 530 Torque
I don't think the blanket will get the PSI up, it will help retain heat, have you tried setting the heater pressure switch to go to 1025-1050? Remember increasing the pressure will likely change your AFR to the leaner side.
Give Dean/Dan a call, and ask for jetting for 150 at the wheels, thats what they did for my first kit.

If you have the dynotune heater you can raise the pressure up but thats not the way to go. Just change the jet if you want more power as Beer mentioned. Yes we rate the kits at the engine. With the variations in drivetrain loss its the only way to go. Give us another ring or email or PM if you need! Not sure how much you are loosing due to the Mustang Dyno numbers versus a Dynojet?
