Robert your car is a beast. Why doesn't it have a higher torque? Or do single turbos provide monster torque.

I'm asuming the larger turbos provide more mid-range/top-end power. Maybe the 2.5" APS test pipes and the Stillen x-pipe is restricting it. Honestly I don't know. Once I return to the states (houston) I will have it retuned due to the elevation change and maybe see better numbers.

Also note that my numbers in my sig are uncorrected numbers. Elevation does play a small part into power.

So here in Colorado if I ran my turbonetics setup it would actually be safer on a stock block because my uncorrected numbers would be a whole lot lower than at sea level... am I right? Therefore instead of running almost 400whp on my stock block corrected on a dyno at this altitude) I would really only be running like 320whp on my block.. I was just wondering.

Safe all depends on the tune and how much boost you run. Due to the elevation you can run about 2 more pounds of boost to equal what owners are running at sea level. However my "rule of thumb" is the closer you get to 500whp corrected the more concern you should have.
