I never ran it at the track on pump. I also never dynoed the car. Unfortunately I totalled my Eclipse this past Nov. With my set-up, I can only guess I would trap 101-102 based on other DSMers I know running similair times on pump and similair mods as mine.

As for having at least 300 whp, I don't know. Maybe 300 at the crank. As an example, another local DSMer put down 275whp with the exact same mods. I know all cars are different but at least I got an idea of what I could've put down if tuned properly.

As for the trap of a 2G DSM with intake, exhaust, and a boost controller...it won't be much over stock since the stock return valve will just vent all the extra boost to the atomsphere

But you knew that right?

Right, I knew that. Many of my buddies that started off with cat-back, intake, aftermarket bov and at least 16psi with the stk T-25, could only manage 94-96 mph throught the traps. Like I said, most. Every now and then you find "freak" DSMs that run faster than others with identical mods.

Sorry for hijacking the thread with DSM talk. I'm actually here to learn about the new Z. Hope to get one soon.
