I wouldnt call that increasing HP at 6600 rpms though, thats pretty much flat based on your downward trq curve...

With no BC your wastegate is prolly starting to open, causing that big loss in trq. Try a BC at your wastegate Psi and see how it does.

You should have no problem getting into the 600's with the BC on and the addition of meth.
Good Luck. Glad to see things moving forward.

Thanks guys

Have to get in contact with Charles for the stage 2 Fuel return and CJM Dual Fuel Assy.
Don't know if I really need the dual fuel pump.

Just waiting on some $$$ to drop it off at the new shop to get the bodywork finished

I went and got a break in tune from Kenny @ theshop
I got 2 more tunes on credit so we shall see once I break in the motor
how they will do with the final tuning and road tuning
If worst comes to worst I'm heading down to Ray@PFS

I kept waiting on Junior but he never showed even though he lives 10 minutes from me.

Figured I would give a update

The old shop is in big trouble with the authorities now
People got their cars there and can't seem to get a hold of the owner
to get their cars back

Found a new shop to finish it up they started 3 weeks ago and had to redo most of it














Still waiting on Charles to get the Stage 2 in stock

Where did you find the bottleneck? My downpipes and coupler fittings appear to shrink in spots as well, but I'm not sure I want to have them cut open and relaced since they are heat treated with Jet-Hot.

The bottleneck was the Greddy Evo TT
even though it is a 2.75" exhaust
The flange that is suppose to meet with factory cats tapers down to only 2.25"
The APS 3.5" downpipes taper down to 3"

the picture I posted was the APS flange on top of the Greddy exhaust flange
so you see what a big difference
