Limits of my Setup

[halfan8]

As you can see from my profile, my car was recently dynoed and made almost 280 hp. With all the work done to my car I was expecting some bigger numbers. I will admit that shop that did the dyno tuning tends to set up cars rich and conservatively. I have a pocket logger but I am still working out some other bugs (see " brake dragging" post). I know that turning up the boost will make more power but is there something I have overlooked in my setup? Looking at the dyno page shows cars that are similarly equipped making bigger numbers. What is the next logical step to get the power up? I wouldn't call my car a race car, it has never even been to the track but I do have other fast cars and would like it to run like all the $$$ I put into it did when leaving my account. If I had to put a number on the hp goal I would say 350 is a nice sounding #!

Sorry, I updated my profile with a more current list.......I do have a big fuel pump in it.

I didn't jump from the T-25 to the 20g, I had a 16g before this.

How much boost and what kind of dyno??

Boost was settling down to about 18 pounds. The dyno was a Dynojet.
