You could tell Adam or Chris @ map that if you break 400 with that thing I will be ordering it! Oh wait, I could tell adam that at least haha. I missed the delivery of my eibach pro that i got from map... I messed up with ordering... I order 2 things from them separated by a week and now gonna add the sway bars to the list... Very dumb move on my part... Should have ordered all three the same time haha.

I know ive said this before but I really cannot wait to see what that baby will do on the dyno!

We shall see soon enough! 400 might be pushing it on pump gas with stock cams. For comparison, Chris Flemming at Cobb estimated my car would make 390 with a Green.

I think they are only rated at like ~400 deep discharges.
my stock battery is still working... your new one is hot. is that local?

That is a lot of coin for 38hp, I mean if you were racing competitively (not local hpde/ax) it would matter, but daily driving I figure that is setting you back about 2k w/tune? Couldn't you nearly get that with just going E85 with your current setup (injectors, pump, etc). Are you just leaving headroom for later?

You could upgrade the cams :P Trying to push 400 on pump is a pain (damn you Tom, damn you)... I might switch to e85 to make my life easier.

I'm after the overall powerband increase, not just peak #'s. This turbo shouldn't fall off (whp or wtq) anywhere near as bad in the upper RPM's like the stock turbo does. E85 isn't convenient for me and I'm not willing to go hunting for it every 2-3 days. Now, with my ID1000 fuel injectors that will leave me the option for pump/E85 map-switching if I ever change my mind.

No thanks, after my IX I promised myself I'd never do cams or a lightweight flywheel in a daily-driven street car again. That car was miserable to drive in traffic. It's not peak #'s I'm after, I'm after a nice fat powerband. This is my 5th turbo Mitsu car, I've come to learn what I want, and don't want, in one

You also promised yourself no upgraded turbo! How does a nice fat power band feel in traffic, I cannot seem to ever really get in mine on the tollway...then again you are up with the roosters, maybe traffic is a non-issue? The Spring Creek ramp to S. DNT is about the only place I can rip one, oh and 121S.
