Its the same as stock or for a Vortech or APS kit its 6600rpm's. The Revup kit with the 7000rpm redline has not been released. And no it wont make peak power at 7000rpm's but it will pull to there. Peaks are at stock rpm's hp being around 6200 and tq around 4800. I shift at 7100-6800-6800 down the 1/4 FWIW.....

so if you have the TN kit you CAN shift to 7100 but your power is dropping off, correct?

yes, you can shift that high, it just wouldnt be your ideal shift point!

Im sorry for not clarifying I have a UTEC and my redline is whatever I want it to be. Stock TN flash is stock at 6600rpm's. I only shift that high (7100) on the 1-2 because it goes by so quick and when you land 2nd its almost over. Power is falling up top though, at 7000rpm Im slightly over 300whp iirc, I wouldnt go revving around to 7000rpm all the time.

We could probably get another 10-12whp with an upgraded exhuast system. Many people prefer the exhuast note, and visual appeal of aftermarket exhuasts.

Ok cool, so stock its 6600, if you want higher you have to have a UTEC, or can the stock flash be modified? And I completley understand why you would shift at 7100 in first gear because even stock its a short gear and goes quickly. Thanks for the info Alberto, I just recently decided to go with the TN kit, so now I am getting all the info I can, lol, my first search in an attempt to educate myself on the kit was posts by "alberto"

The TN flash cannot be raised you'll have to do that on your own. If you have more TN specific/related Q's feel free to PM me....

The out of box TN flash for the 6MT is stock. For the 5AT kit it was raised to 7100 to help with shifting. YOu can alter the revlimiter via another method if you like but as Alberto stated theres no power to be made there...

I too was surprised with the stock exhuast system. But as we tried to raise boost further, no additional peak power was generated. We told De he had to get an exhuast before we raised the boost.
What's going on man. I love the car i just wanted to keep the stock exhaust till i finally got a chance to get a motor rebuilt and the really go all out with everything i got. But no one really knows i have a turbo in there till it starts spooling thats is the best part about keeping the stock like for me and i till love the stock exhaust note so much. But like i said before thanks for the work you guys did on my car.

Woah...Good numbers man...Congrad...I have done alot of reading and thinking, and now i decided to go back to the TN single too. I'm waiting for the 1.5 kits to release. Im still deciding on wether sticking with the preprogrammed Unichip or go for the Utec. I love the Utec when I had my evo. Water injection is a must have for me due to its extra safety net on stock motor.

Water injection is an option with Stage 1.5 and can be run off a pre-programmed map on the Unichip Q

One negative aspect of the factory returnless system is that the factory fuel pressure regulator is installed in the fuel tank. The factory fuel pressure regulator does not allow fuel pressure adjustments and is incapable of holding a constant fuel pressure with most aftermarket fuel pumps. The factory fuel pressure regulator also is unable to add fuel pressure under boost. This system is a must have for any forced induction supercharged or turbocharged vehicle and any big shot nitrous vehicles because the AAM Spec system removes the factory regulator's control of fuel pressure and replaces the control with a vacuum/boost sensitive adjustable fuel pressure regulator. This allows you to adjust both the level of base fuel pressure and increase fuel pressure under boost.

BENEFITS:

• Adjustable base fuel pressure (35psi to 65psi)
• Increases fuel pressure under boost (about one pound of fuel pressure for each pound of boost)
• Each fuel rail is fed individually for equalized fuel flow
• Billet fuel rails have a larger internal diameter for improved fuel flow
• Redesigned injector hood (internal portion of the fuel rail where the top of the injector receives fuel from) that offers much better clearance and flow.
• Allows fuel to flow to the injectors easily

Hmm are you sure they all do? I don't think the Mazdaspeed cars have one. Ditto for the SRT-4. But I may be wrong there. Either way for lower power levels a return system isn't 100% necessary. Raising the base fuel pressure above stock the the amount of manifold pressure you want to run is not a new concept and has worked fine on countless cars and systems. As long as you can properly scale the injectors at idle it works fine. If stock is 46 and you plan to run 8 PSI of boost you increase base pressure to 54 PSI. That being said with the out of box Turbonetics fuel setup I never see below 48 PSI of fuel pressure under full boost while at idle I have about 54 PSI...

Yes, the running rich or random cylinder misfire code is somewhat common. The stock ECU doesnt like to see AF ratios in the 11.0:1 range, so it sometimes throws that code. Nothing to worry about.

On De's car, we could have gotten another 10-12whp if he had a good aftermarket exhuast system. I am just speaking on this particular car.
