Well, I want a little more horsepower but can't decide on what to get to increase my horses a bit. With my current setup I should be putting down either damn close to 300hp or a little more than that.

Mods are the following:
-B16g (ported), RRE install kit
-HKS 264/272 cams
-DSMLink V2
-Polished SS 3" Downpipe, 3" Catback w/Magnaflow 3" straight through muffler
-ported o2, ported manifold
-FIC 650cc injectors
-Denso 190 fuel pump
-1G TB
-Buschur Upper IC pipe
-Griffin top-bottom flow FMIC
-Greddy Type S BOV
-K&N filter, NGK 7ES plugs/NGK wires, Hacked MAF
-Centerforce Pressure plate with Clutchnet 6 puck clutch
-short shifter, solid shifter bushings
-Blitz Dual Turbo Timer
-Greddy Profec B electronic boost controller
-Greddy EGT gauge, VDO boost Gauge, Cyberdyne A/F gauge
-Porterfield R4S Carbon/Kevlar brake pads,
-Eibach Pro Kit springs
-Tokico shocks
-18" Enkei OR52 Gunmetal w/polished lip wheels, 225/35/18 Kuhmo 711V tires

I don't want to get a bigger turbo yet. I was thinking of getting an intake manifold or something like that. What do you guys think?

And one more thing.........what's the higest boost I can run on the 190fp with the 650cc injectors on pump gas? 18psi? :dsm:
 
has your engine been fully tuned because thats always a big power increase if its tuned perfectly... other than that what about pulleys,balance shaft removal, lighter flywheel, higher revving valve train kit, cam gears.... have you thought of any of this??? besides that just look into turning up boost and keep tuning.

Id keep the stock flywheel for launching. Lightweight pulleys #### over your A/C and P/S on idle.

Id have to say Id go with alcohol injection. Then Id go with a built 6 bolt swap and turn up the boost with a .5 trim.
 
Stock for launching? Explain... I have a pretty built engine setup, check out my profile for specs. Whats the perk of sticking with your stock 19lbs flywheel for launching over the light weights?
 
Why would you go with an intake manifold when you could just get a bigger turbo for the same money. No point in a smim with the setup you have now. It seems like the logical next step is a bigger turbo. Or just get a better tune.
 
What are you looking for as far as downtime? If it were me I would probably go with a 6 bolt motor, that is..if you are still rockin the 7 bolt.
