wowww that is some nasstttty power for only 31psi on an fp red i think my next upgrade is going to be the magnus v5. Also is your throttle body ported 65mm or stock?

I currently have a stock TB. I may in the future upgrade to the MilSpec 65mm. Before anything else goes into my motor i need to beaf up a few things.

how did the magnus v5 change your powerband? would you say you lost any low end tq with it or did it do nothing but open up more power in general? im close to deciding wether or not I want to throw one of these in my car. 520hp is really amazing considering it took me 33psi and e85 to hit 461, but i believe its my cams + intake manifold holding me back.

I have HKS cams too. Although I have the 272/280 combo so my topend will be a bit better than your 272/272 setup. If you upgrade to Kelfords or GSCs you will see a much better midrange and your topend will increase a bit too!On a MIVEC car I don't believe that you will lose any lowend power because of the adjustment you can make to the MIVEC/Timing with the added v5. Also retaining the stock tb or 65mm and running a short route UICP will help retain your lowend power. Now if you throw on the v5, a 70+mm tb, don't get short route UICP then YES you will lose lowend power.
I'm also not a fan of a larger than 65mm tb unless you are running a 3586+ with 3in UICP... Otherwise i don't think you are going to see much gains. Stick with stock or 65mm if your running the normal 65mm UICP.
The v5 will help you out a lot. You will be able to run more boost, more timing, and have better air temps
. It will move your powerband to the right over the stock intake manifold and it will really come to life above 6k. It is def worth 50+ peak power over the stock intake manifold on a red+ size turbo. I believe that Aaron at ER picked up 70+ peak on his 3586.Mikey

your whp looks great just curious as to why your tq is that low? do u think it had to do with ur bc issues? Especially with the magnus i would fig your tq to more along the lines of 470 480?
