This could be true coz the IAT will definitely rise a little. I have the Center pipe and only made 365 and that is with a Revup Engine.

Yea but I don't mind loosing 10-20 hp for safety...

Anyway I just got off the phone with Bobby. Very cool guy. Very Honest. I requested some pricing information and he's getting me setup for a install sometime mid-end September after the Formula D event.

I am looking for 350-360whp/wtq range. I will be happy with that. I'll probably keep my Nitrous on the system on top of that for some instant torque here and there.

They said $3995 was for the original betas (months ago)

I plan on building sometime in the next year to year and a half. I am going just run a low 35 shot or something on top of it. I might as well since I have all the stuff. Bobby said he could plumb it right in on top and make a separate map for both when needed. It will be fun. If It blows, then Christmas will come early and I'll have to build but until then it's ok. I've got 4 cars so it's definatly not my daily driver and I can live with the downtime. I feel like you always have to be prepared for downtime since anything can happen when you go FI.

It will be fun though...

I wanna find a shop who wants to attempt a TT STS build. That or let my local shop build it and fly someone up to tune it since I'll only trust 4 people to Tune my ride and they aren't one of them. heh

Hey, if you are thinking of upgrading your Engine then I suggest you call STS for other option for Turbo, they have 60-1 drop in and even a GT67, they even have BB upgrade for all turbo. Oh, I just confirmed this with Rick that the STS FMIC is already on the restricted side at 8+PSI (Tube/Fine design) so you may want to upgrade the IC at least.

No no no! Don't get me wrong, with the right tune, you can push 8 psi all day on a stock block. Just get one of the few people capable of that to do it for ya

I'm just fortunate enough to have a built motor. Fortunate? I guess unfortunate enough to have NEEDED a new motor

what is a BB upgrade? also are there any intercoolers with the same dimensions so that it could just be bolted on without any modification to the piping?

Spearco makes ONLY bar and plate cores and can make any intercooler you can draw up. You might try one of those.
