well, some here seem over the normal power level for 8 psi and the other mods they have. i dont know whats up with that....maybe its crazy horse.

but i thought the thresd starter would be 360-370 with the other mods he has and 8 psi. thats not too far fetched.
Saleengt, what other mods do you have, are you stock except the blower at 8 psi cause that could be the difference between your #'s and my estimite.

For some reason my car has always dynoed low,355 rwhp with listed mods through an automatic and lower compression. My car runs real strong though low 12s @ 11X in the 1/4 mile. Dont look into dyno numbers so much, its not what the car does on paper, its what it does in real life. I live by STRONGLY by this with the weird numbers my car puts down. People ask me how much power my car make and I tell them and then they seem let down but then they see my car run and they change their attitude.

Yea I agree with you then LOL. Your car is running like a beast for 350RWHP IMO. Car is very stout! And I think stalled autos show up ALOT less power than they are making! They always run GREAT for their power.

yes but just barely haha. Im surprised at how well it does for stock heads that only flow 16x CFM....im very pleased with the car . Turbos REALLY like a free flowling intake system....and mine is not lol. But dont worry, its going to get stg 3 ported heads whenever I forge the engine. (long way away, by my plans)

Wow 04, your leaving ALOT on the table with the stock stall! Its killing all your power off the line. Im sure you would go 11s easly, and im thinking @ 117+. Get yourself a 3500 or so I suppose

^^^

A 3500 stall from PI is my next mod along with building up my tranny. Im running a little low on $$ so it will prolly not happen untill late this year or early next, unless the tranny dies before then.
