N/A For now. But I think I will want more power and in the end I will end up going FI. There is just no way around it

Cant wait to get my goods installed. I'll post pics when I comes in. Man I cant wait.

I think if Mikes Dynos his car he will find his car is putting out about 230 to the wheels. Thats what I think.

Well I'm off to work for about 8 hours lol Whats cracking tonight?

they don't want it to be mad chaos when coming out of the school. eventually they let whoever wanted to go, go. All absences for today were excused because about half the school ended up leaving early.

Not knocking Mike's 8 but my guess would be 200 at the wheels maybe 210. Don't think he can get that high with his mods - I've been wrong before and every 8 is different. If your going FI your waisting your money with the header as you have stated you will go turbo and if you go any of the good ones you will get another header. Of course it's your call and your money. As soon as the flash is ready for my car I will set up a dyno day if we get enough people to do it otherwise I'll just have it done on my own. I want to do a before and after.

Off the gauges (not dynoed), we figure 235hp (conservatively) but that will change now with the temp of the air. We figure that with the flash I should rise significantly (maybe 280). Hard to say cuz of all the mods I have. I want to stop at 300hp to 350hp.

Now if Mike flashes I figure he should be an easy 220 and most likely a little more. Every one needs to remember that completely stock you only get 180 maximum to the wheels (proven no BS and none have been over). Without FI the car can only use so much air and that is easy to figure out.

The stock stuff is ok... You shouldn't have any popping take it back to the dealer or get an upgrade....
