Once I hit the ceiling for N/A, that's when I go FI, and then it's another chapter of learning from there.

I know what you mean, but its only a couple hundred bucks. Plus he can still sell it later on. I think there were quite a few people with the racing beat revi that sold it for the aem intake, or turbo.

has two resonators on it and the muffler, so it sounds nice.

The final tune gave 225whp, and was done at 11-11.5psi. If we had let the car cool down, I think we could have gotten another 10-15whp out of it. I am running the RB exhaust, and RP high flow cat.
I think you need alot more tuning i going back and fourth in my mind to see if i should go turbo but when i see numbers like this it dissapoint me.I think you should be over 250 with no problems .

If you are looking at my numbers to justify buying it, just remember all the variables. A lot of people don't realize just how bad the gas over here is until they experience it. I didn't even know until a few weeks ago. You should be fine since you are on the other side of the country. So you should expect what others on the east coast are getting, (280-290whp).

During the tuning, we consulted with Scott for help. Both our tuner and Scott were amazed how much timing had to be pulled because of ping under boost, due to our gas. I do plan on leaning the AFR out a little in a few months after I buy a wideband sensor, but my tuner wanted to be conservative, because he had never worked with the renesis before.

I met a guy at SevenStock8 with a Shinka that was turbo'd. I don't remember his name, but he said that he doesn't really post. Isn't Fanman in that area?

Were your numbers on a dynojet or mustang dyno. If mustang, what were your numbers without the nitrous?

You can always take it off and resell it if you don't like it or don't think its worth it. If you buy a used kit to start with you shouldn't loose much. If you get it tuned though I very much doubt you will regret it.

There is a place in San Jose with 100 octane gas. But I really don't feel like going all the way out there everytime I need gas, and also paying that kind of money per gallon.

Bummed, but bring on OU!
Try xylene from the hardware or paint store. There used to be a thread 'round here somewhere about it. You can usually buy it in multiple quantities, even by the 55gallon drum. Just mix with your gas to the desired octane, it should be significantly cheaper than 100octane from a station.
