There are 3 reason why we have no numbers:

1. Low numbers (really low)
2. Blown motor
3. Wreck on the way back from AAM.

Yeah have a bad injector, the good thing is RC Engineering was very helpful in confirming this and will have a new injector here first thing Monday morning.

When we tuned the car for Modified magazine (very similar setup less the bad-a** exhuast now on Jon's 350Z!) the turbocharger had trouble supporting over 460rwhp, we had 520+ torque though

What kind of exhaust did it have? I'm sure an exhaust restriction would net you numbers like that. High tq low HP.

Time limited, we reomved the exhaust to see what we could get but the turbo seemed to be at its capacity, so no large top-end gain. We did have torque improvement.

I find it hard to believe that a 60-1 would run out of steam at 460whp. There are 4 cylinders with 60-1 turbos that put down more than that.

I was thinking that too, but i still have this gut feeling that we are gonna make more power than that. And Mike knows his $hit too, and i dont doubt his knowledge at all, but, i just have a gut feeling and im usually right about gut feelings, whatever its about. But i guess we'll find out...
