Where's my POWER??!!??

[98turbo]

I was wondering why my power is so low. I have all of the stage one and two mods minus the tranny upgrades and I'm only making 278whp. Shouldn't I be at almost 400whp?

maybe its because ur running a 16g.... but it seems like u need a really good tune.. u should be 300 more or less.

Well it is tuned to 17psi. They got my fuel curve as straight as it can be. Even with a 16g, I should be in the 350ish range I thought......

nope.. unless ur motor is fully built u wont hit 350hp from a 16g. 1fastgs(on dragva) had an EVOII16G and hit 312hp at 23psi. and if you turn up the boost a little you should be around 300. But 350 from a 16g is not unrealistic but it calles for a built motor or a 50 shot of nitrous.

Well, I guess I need to move up to an 18g or 20g....

not really there is alot of potential in a 16g. But if you wnat to hit 400 a 20G shou8ld be pretty close to it. I would keep the 16g and build my motor. then later on buy a bigger turbo but its up to you. a 20g is nice but you would money wise rather go with a 50trim than a 20g.

16g's are capable of 320hp at 14-18psi... the car needs to be tuned i know plenty of people breaking 300hp on 16g's (stock internals). Oh yea def dotn waste your money on an 18g if your gonna upgrade do the 20g.

yes like i said before he needs a tune. but 320 within 14-18 psi. I havent seen it. but the run around 300 yes..

Well, tuning costs $3 a minute here, so the 2 hours of tuning that I already have will have to suffice......
