Hell.. I didn't know you had cams as well. You definitley should be making more power compared to his car. Cams can give an additional 20 to 30 hp on certain set ups.

i never said i should be making more power. I was simply suprised that with a front mount and a big 16g that the numbers weren't higher or the same as my car currently thats all. And i don't think the cams really made a 20-30 hp difference. At least not the ones im running, there a mild set not as aggressive as webs or hk$'s maybe 10-15hp up top.

Apparently the whp I'm making is about average for my setup. That's
2g with similar mods.

I'm not surprised that your 1g makes more power. There are a lot of
small differences that add up.

Of course I'd like to think that I can squeeze out some more hp from
my setup on the street with pump gas, but I doubt it.

Run more boost, and you will make more power. Boost is more important for power and torque production than timing or how lean you are. So run more boost, and sacrifice a degree or two of timing advance.

And higher octane is always welcome.

But... in post #22 you were comparing your dyno numbers to his. That's why I said you should definitley be making more power than he is since you have a 1g. If he had a 1g tb, 1g intake manifold, 1g head, cams, and if he was running 93 octane instead of 91 owl piss he would indeed be making similar numbers to yours at 17 psi. All of that will make a big difference in power production.

Agreed. I'm 2g and eagletalontsi is 1g. Theres several small but important differences between the two. They all add up. Reading many other people's responses on this forum, I think the power I am making is average for my setup.

You are correct about that. If he plans on going with 660's then you will want to bump up to a standalone. SAFC+660's+Stock ECU = very difficult time tuning.

I have stock ECU, 680s and SAFC and don't find tuning to be terribly difficult. I've been tuning another buddies car with 660s and SAFC and it is responding to it as well. It all depends on the techniques you use. Some start super rich and slowly bring it down. Others start already on the lean side and add fuel from there. Lots of different methods to tuning as well.

Joey, I think that you need to work more on tuning. It looked like you only had about a 7whp increase with 2psi. On your turbo, I'm used to seeing about 12-15whp per psi. A local guy here also put down 318whp on his big 16g. The only thing he had that you don't was cams. He was running at 19psi, but still, that's a huge diff. He was on 94 octane as well.
