That being said this kit performs very well and feels fantastic!!...highly recommended (for those on the fence)....and as long as you can get it on the dyno for a proper tuning session you will have no regrets!

Good work HP logic! Curious in WA state we only have 92, when i go FI should i use something to boost the octane, or just tune for the 92 in my area? Also is anyone looking into direct meth injection yet? I remember dannygt talking about it..

JUst sent him a message, not sure if he can actually help me out since I'm thousands of miles away lol

im a little curious how RCZ got 455whp and you ended up with 390...dont you two have similar mods and tuning done at the same place?

that 455 was redyno somewhere else I believe and on a dynojet.

Nitex · 11-12-2010, 06:06 PM

^^ correct, he already stated in this thread that 390 is what he made on the same dyno. I find that interesting though because RCZ has headers.

wishihadnav · 11-12-2010, 06:41 PM

ok cool..so RCZ basically made the same on this dyno..gotcha thanks..

RCZ · 11-12-2010, 09:21 PM

yup, except I made my 390 at 8.5 psi in 100 degree weather and he made 390 at 9.5psi in 70-80 deg weather. Makes you wonder how much the extra flow from the headers translates to hp wise eh? Now that its cold and my car goes over 9psi, id like to go redyno at hp logic. I guess with this size blower you can really make use of a more free flowing exhaust. Maybe test pipes in my future. Wonder how LTH's would behave.

Don't forget I also have lighter pulleys, lighter flywheel. Those free up some power too.

Not so my friend, but to buy 101 octane you will pay ~$8.45 a gallon.

TRICK Performance Unleaded

At Google Maps

The pump is on the South side, closest to the building but facing the street.

Good luck!

Nitex · 11-13-2010, 11:56 AM

^ yeah, i know a few places i can get 101 at. A race fuel map will do the trick.. I just miss the 93 i was able to get in texas!

Osiris · 11-13-2010, 01:45 PM

Do you just mix in the 101 octane with what's left in the tank? Seems there would be a little mixture going on unless you drained the tank manually.

MMC Racing · 11-13-2010, 03:43 PM

Forget thinking about having to mix 100+ unleaded in to every tank and consider an E85 conversion if you have that readily available in your area.

guys Sherwin williams $35 dollars gets you 5 gallons of toluene or toluol w/e you feel like calling it.

2fast4thelaw · 11-14-2010, 01:00 PM

How would you convert to E-85? I can get E-85 pretty easily here but our crappy 91 octane oxygenated prem gasoline here is all I can get.

For most modern cars, upgraded fuel pump and injectors + tuning for it.
