  • All gauges aem a/f

  • AEM tru boost Boost gauge/ electronic boost controller

  • Turbo timer

  • Tial bov

  • Forced Performance manifold

  • Custom heat cover for mass airflow sensor

  • Engine is a 9.1 compression

  • Head has been redone with 4g lifters

  • 272 fwwd cams

  • ARP head studs

Not to be rude, but with that mod list I think you are in over your head if you are asking how to get more power. Anyone with those mods should already have a healthy knowledge of what they have and what they need.

Looks to me like you already have a pretty strong setup. I would suggest more research and studying on how to get the most out of what you already have. ;)
 
Don't see cold air or short ram intake on the list, either.
Not a real "upgrade" worth mentioning at that level. more of an optimization at best.

OP, those 1050's on e85 have to be hurting (or ok because boost is so low). Injectors and up that boost! Perhaps an e85 compatible fuel pump. Only thing that sticks out to me and does not really fit. That size turbo probably sucks at 20psi.

I'm on e85 and 21 psi on 1000cc injectors, and my injector duty is only 61.6% at full boost.
 
Dont see a fuel pump listed but walbro 450 and fic 1650cc injectors and up the boost to about 30psi. ;)

He has an Aeromotive Stealth FP.

And already has a cold air intake.

OP, do you have 1650 or 1050 fuel injectors? This post says 1050, but your profile says 1650. Looks like a healthy build so far.

Where are you currently power wise:hmm:? Post a dyno sheet or time slip that way most of us can look to see if you are even getting the full potential of your current set up. I suggest know what you are making so we can recommend something. The dsm game is a balancing act, once achieved you will be happy:thumb:

Power wise I'm at 525 brake horsepower which is about 420 wheel horsepower, I do have the dyno sheet I just have to find it.

Thanks for your advice, I have done my research and I have a vague idea on what I'm going to do next. I just wanted other people's opinions.

Cool! Yeah you definitely can get more out of that setup for sure. You still have a little more left in that setup. Do you have a log that you can post?

I'm not saying you are lying... here's my 20g at ~26psi in 2nd gear on 93 oct. I can imagine that 26 psi on e85 at the usual 2/3 conversion ratio would put him near 100% IDC on 1050 and the recommended boost.

And here is the FP red at 32psi 3rd gear pull E85 , tune not finished. IDC pretty much maxed out. My car for some reason likes the richer side of life, but still my results should be pretty close to expectation. FP 3065 IIRC is in the playing field of an FP red. THIS IS ON FIC BM1250's

At the end of the day, 1050's are borderline. Might as well go 1250, 1450, or 1650 depending on tuning skills (for cruise idle). They are all generally close in price range used, a relatively cheap upgrade that will help him net the most already available power. Seems to also be the consensus.

Also 420WHP on a 20g, e85, at only 20psi. Props.
