Andrew 30 Report post Posted August 13, 2007 That is SERIOUS power! Can't wait to see what it runs at when it's leaned out a bit. Was that at HiVelocity? What ECU? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bezzal 1 Report post Posted August 14, 2007 Damn that is some bloody good power, straight out of the box, rough tune. Sounds like a bit of an animal! Which is always fun.

topcat 11 Report post Posted August 14, 2007 gates a 38mm. the guru in the states reckon's that good enough flow up to 400hp. he informed me that going too large will release too much gass, causing more boost spikes and uneven boost curve. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
