you should retard the timing a little when running boost but if your running lean, thats another problem entirely

On spray its 412.78hp I have only hit it once on the dyno. It wasnt even running lean then. Now its running lean as hell, i dont what the problem is so i figured i would try the timing. I sold my maf for my 42# injectors so i could buy a pro-m. But that wont be for 2 more weeks till i get that so i figured i would try the timing.

i really think its those injectors... go in our stickies thers a formula for injector size... i just checked for myself, because i want 400whp, and i came up w. 34-37... so i need 42s for that... seriously i think its your injectors... even if its not, that swap needs to be on the top of your list

no need to retard the timing because the driver is already retarded enough. lol

if your running lean, do not race your car. you car daily driver it just fine but keep the rpms low enough so that you dont go into boost. and for no reason, use the nitrous
