man when you spent all that money on the S/C you def should have upgraded to the gt500 system. Its only a few hundred bucks more than the boost a pump and is really the ONLY way to go if you want to be safe. those boost a pumps suck by themselves, they heat up the fuel, fail, ect. and as for pegging out your maf...don't be fooled so easily, I ran 500rwhp on a stock maf and it didn't start to peg out until the car was up into the mid 500's. maybe the maf's are different on the 06's and the 08's though, I'm not to sure. I hope you get the results you desire though

You will not run into that problem on an 05.
At least we didn't on mine.
And that torque is REALLY low even for a centri blower.
My friend runs a Novi 1200 with 440 rwhp and ~400 rwtq.
Don't buy into that manual vs. Auto nonsense either. You can make either of those transmissions run 450 rwhp through them. The only limitation you've got here is the tuners ability (which sounds ****ty considering where they placed their dyno), and how much you're actually boosting. There is a difference in parasitic drag between the auto and manual. But not enough to make it so a manual can put out the magical "limit" of our cars and the auto can't. Theoretically I could be making a safe 500 rwhp through a manual.

The run conditions at the time were 90.91 degrees, I wish I could read the rest but its over printed on the chart.....
