damn dozzer, that sucks!

It seems like most people don't have a problem with boosting a stock motor, but every now and then there's a bad story that scares me. Not quite enough to talk me out of it though, but enough to make me wait and see if I want to build first

But waiting is tough when all of the parts are sitting in your garage.

I mean, there is nothing wrong with it. I'm just saying, big injectors and build motor etc etc i'm sure standalone might be better choice than Utec.

I have seen a number of cars around 450ish with 8-8.5 psi. I run 8psi and make 430whp.

I believe Greddy 20G @8.5 psi on a strong DE with full 3" Turbo back will make 475whp.
Here is one about 10whp short - SAE Dynojet:
