For 7psi on a "easy" tune???
now if it was 8 or 9 psi that would be different... I wonder if it was a full 7psi to begin with?? settings are usually iron'd out. 130rwhp is impressive. The torque says something is left on the table. Procharger's hit 500rwhp with 8-9psi..... that is a 180 gain. Most cars dyno curves with STS dont have that large a HP vs TQ swing!
I understand all that, thats why in my 2nd post I said "Time to turn that tune on kill"...

The car has 110,000 miles on it so it was tuned at 15 degrees timing and 11.5:1 A/F ratio for safety. It has been rebuilt once but with stock parts. He drives it every day, so why push it for another 20rwhp or so? JMO

It just seems that the setup that was posted has some tuning issues. I have been looking into diffrent power adder setups for myself. turbo,superchargers, nirtous etc. So not trying to turn this thread into a pissing match.B

Fourteen3GT, you give Billy handjobs too when you swing off his nuts?
He does good work, stop trying to change everyone's mind. They know or they don't, or they don't care. Its how the world works.
