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

That makes sense. I didn't know you were so low at 8.5:1. What is your goal for your car? It looks like you could really crank this car up if you wanted to.

Car ran great brother! It was good seeing you yesterday and getting to hang out. Your car has come a long way and is making some serious steam for only 7 lbs. Install that spring then post a picture of that grin again... lol
