Hi I just recently bought one of these cars. From what I've read on this forum my car seems to be making alot of hp at only 12psi. My mods are 42 lbs injectors, bigger mass air and CAI, Kenne belle boost pump, SCT tuner, 4.10's and a steeda 2.8 upper and Idler. This car is making 547 hp and 577 tq. Im thinkin about a ordering a set of LT's, a 4lb lower, and steigmer stage IV. I'd like to see about 16psi and 600hp. What do you guys think. I only bought it as a weekend drag toy so I'd like to see what I can get out of it. :beer:

Way too high..... You need an upper and a lower and about 17psi with a ported eaton to break 500rwhp...

You have way more fuel mods than you need if you are still running an eaton, I vote you install a whipple

sorry man but you cant possibly be seeing those numbers with those mods

anthony

agreed. Even with a lower those are good numbers. if those are your true numbers, you have a port and a lower....plus with the mods you have, it's set up for it......so, I wouldn't doubt it.

I've got the dyno sheet 547 and 577. I kinda thought it was high myself. Yes its the stock eaton.

pull the throttle body and plenum off and take a look inside the blower. You have to have a ported blower for those numbers! I wouldn't complain. That's awesome to buy a car like that. You probably have a 4lb lower as well. You MAF and BAP kinda point in that direction. No point in having them unless you need them and you obviously need them :rockon:

17psi sound right for a ported blower. Bad ass, man! :rockon: and be prepared to go through a lot of tires!!! I will hopefully be joining you soon! You just need to find out what size lower you have now

Well maybe my boost gauge doesn't work right. I have all the receipts of all the add ons on the car and a lower wasn't one of them. Oh well. Im goin to the drag strip this weekend to see what it runs. I'll learn more about the car as I break stuff. :D
