yes the other guy was running AEM as well.

I dont know if he had any other mods though, that helped him hit close to 400WHP/400TQ ....he didnt disclose any other info.

Dont worry you'll be back up to that level. Not having an oring in your HKS SS... is killing you. I was only getting 18psi at 7k ... on the meth. The other guy was running 280's.. thats the only diff. The torque was there.. but the boost just didnt hold. See you this week and we'll get it straightened out.. I should prob keep those seals in stock as this isnt the first one i've seen.

Thanks Mark, I'm trying to get a hold of the O-Ring. The guy that I met at your shop called me later that saturday night for me to come pick it up but it was already too late, and where he was asking me to go meet him was a tad bit too far, especially with the rain.....I had already parked the car in the garage and locked everything down and I was too lazy to take the car ut again...I'll call a local vendor and see if they have any spares.

My cams were 280's also. I knew Ben had the same cams and alky, I dont know if he had any other miscellaneous mods though...

Disappointing b/c of the boost leak?
