[QUOTE="turbov6joe, post: 10007902, member: 95661"] According to Art Whipple, with long tubes, off road X and the Borla catback one might expect a drop of 1.5-2 psi of boost due to the lack of restriction. Friday night on the way home from a cruise it was ~53*, I rolled into it in 3rd gear and saw 20 psi. IMO, if I don't net another 10hp for every degree of timing, it's not worth leaning on it to me. The car actually made 633hp & 634 lb-ft at 22* of timing. We upped it to 23* and gained only 4 hp but lost 15 lb-ft. The numbers I posted in my OP were at 23* of timing and a max of 18psi dropping to ~16.5 psi at the top of the pull. How can one argue spending $9+/gallon for C16, when you can pay $2.21 for E85, make a little less power, not kill O2 sensors, and buy it off the street when needed??? [/QUOTE]
