Yep, but if it hasn't come out as well, then it can't take in as well, cause some of the out is in the way of the in.

Caution, above sentence may only make sense after several beers.

Well, everyone elses results point to our power figure being a bit optimistic, the only thing different, is we can fit a huge manifold in, with a nice long merge and a short centre branch design - where else has the power come from?

You have been drinking...or else I was too obscure with the joke

Read it again...and think about how many beers you drank versus how many you pissed out

I don't think it's a retarded problem...but could be... I boost to 14psi and my timing at 14psi runs at 0 degree's at 4000 and at 6000 is -4 and from there threw the power band is -2 to my redline. If you ask me I think that's pretty retarded.. I just ordered my EGT gauge but I've ran it pretty hard. Hell the straight drive from florida to indiana while playing with a 350z and bmw never showed me any problems let alone being on the track and pushing it hard on and off.

um no.. I never had the mazsport tune.. when I got the kit...it had no maps on it...or atleast I should say there was one..and it was the same one on all slots lol. The guy before me really had no clue what was going on. As far as it being really retarted...the only problem I ran into was corner seals swelling and ate up the side irons...this is why my idle was ****...car still ran great just the idle sucked. When tore apart it was obvious but all my exhaust ports and everything else looks great. No signs of terrible heat.

So, boost fell off on the 13 psi run because of the melted divider, but power was up? Where is my fridge...
