Please educate me on your combo (i don't have time to go way back and look up the details). If I remember correctly you have a nicely built 347 cid engine, right? While having 455rwhp is pretty dang nice, shouldn't the numbers for a safe tune with boost be far more than 455rwhp with your setup? What am I missing here? Please correct me if I'm missing something.

It's the low compression I need more boost from the turbo to get higher in the hp range naturally aspirated the car only had 310 to the wheels mostly because it was a 8.5:1 motor. I have since picked up 130~ hp on 7lbs of boost kris think if I swap out the spring to a 12lb Spring I'll be around 510
