Wasn't getting pissy with anyone. RPMOUTLET just sucks. Period. Once someone jerks me around, they lose my business forever. That's all I was trying to say. I don't know why the numbers are lower. I don't have any internals done to the engine. Externals only, TB, plenum, and full exhaust, Pro-M blo thru MAF, 42# injectors, and then of course the SC. I don't know what you're running exactly. I actually already sent Procharger an email asking them about the HP gain. We'll see if they reply and recommend anything.

It's all good.

Dang Stang.... If only you would have told me sooner... I've got $8,800 worth of stuff that I plan to get from them by November.... But they've been good so far. And because they arn't soo far If I have I complaint I usually take it up to them directly, and its only been for a wrong CAI so far to date....

But my question to you is... What gauges did you get along with the blower? I know the usual boost gauge, but did you get air/fuel? or Fuel pressure? Both? Or Different?

FREE when you do it yourself. I refuse to let anyone else do anything on my car, unless I absolutely can't do it. Other than that, I'm not sure about labor costs. Usually shops charger $40.00/hr or more. SC can take 6-12 hrs, depending on the installer and the SC. It took me about 6hrs to do the procharger(ATI was impressed with that) since it usually takes longer, plus I never did one before.

i agree, especially if you get a procharger cause no oil pan tap. it seems straight forward, just take your time, assuming oyu have the time, space and tools. then go to someone who is good a t tuning. i am learning that find a good tuner is worth their weight in gold. I put down good numbers on the dyno, but detonate on the street [:@] so i need to find someone who really knows what they are doing, all that dyno hp dont mean **** if i cant use it on the street.
