Yeah i guess your right...i knew that the fuel pumps were big enough for stock turbo and added boost just wasnt sure about the injectors...sorry for the misinformation...good luck tho none the less 350 is a good place to be!

^- Not much, nothing noticeable at the 350hp range.

Maybe ~10-15whp. Speaking from experience, things are much quieter with a cat vs. a test pipe.

I have a test pipe. But what about FMIC choice? Of course I'd like a Buscher Core, but they're $700, and after tuning that will put me over my ideal budget. A second best choice?

Based on your current mod list it looks like the only thing you are missing is the 3.0" intercooler and a new tune. We have the 3" intercoolers priced at $499.00 - If you have any questions you can send me a PM or call us at 360-263-3748

ETS 3" Intercooler Only

Thanks!

Michael

another option instead of gaining horsepower is loosing weight.... well not you as a person but give the car a diet...

AMS and Buschur have some great parts for losing weight all the while not having any issues with driveabililty or reliability.

I still think you will at 350WHP on just a 93 tune by mellon, if you get retuned and your at that level, drop the car 30-60 lbs. I forgot how the weight to horsepower measures out but that is also the safest way to go faster as well.

Just a thought..

Good Luck

I hit 343whp on a Mustang dyno with stock turbo and 93 octane with a TBE with highflow cat and QTP electronic cutout...AMS LICP...K&N cone filter...ACT clutch & Fidanza Flywheel...ported exhaust manifold and 10.5 hotside...EPM 02 housing...Forge Wastegate Actuator...Forge MBC @ 25psi...and tuned by Kreionic...i was tuned for with the cutout closed and through the cat. After the tune i just opened the cutout and gained around 12whp and that put me at 343whp. I am real happy with the power of my car with the little amount of mods...Just like it says in my Sig last year i ran a 12.3 with a crappy 1.85 60 ft without the ported manifold, hotside, wastegate actuator, EPM 02 housing...hope that helps...
