i just put on a ati procharger kit with a set of pe 380 injectors but have had no time to tune hardly anything. i know the pullies on it are 12psi and i just set it up originally pretty rich till i had time to tune it. so i had been driving around pretty mellow and not getting into boost to much at all.
well it all changed when a gt3 pulled up next to me at the light the other night, hahahha. i did not realize he was there till the light went green and he started to leave pretty hard, he already had a car and a half on me when i could not hold back and floored it!! (guess i can't take the fact of loosing even if it means a rod through the block) i caught back up to him pretty quick then unfortunately we had to break for the next light. even my fmu bogged the motor down i had set it so rich, so there was still more power left for sure.
another funny thing is that for some reason my bov vacuum line got pinched during the race and would not allow it to vent so my motor died when i pushed in the clutch to stop for the next light and had me thinkin i caused myself a little motor damage. i pulled over and checked it out but did not figure it out till i got to my shop ( which very luckily was only a mile away) once i freed the line she was runnning good again, and had me smiling knowing that in even decent tune this thing will put a smack down on turbo $140k porsches!!
for those of you thinking of fi, save your fun tickets and buy it!!! changes the car into what nissan should have made it be

sorry got confused between gt2 and gt3. it was night so i tried looking at the badge under the rear wing but could not make it out 100%. but i do remember there was some scripting there which is "turbo" on the gt2's. so really it could have been either model as both the body on those cars is super close to each other at night. either way you would have to agree which ever one it was and mine having some serious tuning issues i will take it as a big "W" in my column, hahahha.
gt3= 380hp stock $99,000 msrp
gt2= 472hp $190,000 msrp
after doing some research i am guessing it was a gt3(non turbo) cause i think the turbo would have giving me an ***-whoopin, hahahha atleast till proper tune and low comp forged internals, lol.
