How far can you push the 5.0 without f/i

yo sam what are ur numbers that u are puttin to the ground?
Actually, I don't even know anymore. Last summer I had 320ish without the nitrous and 430ish with the spray.

But I've changed my headers since then, thus completing my full exhaust setup. I think this will lower my boost a little but should also increase my airflow. I also just got a 3" ProTube blow through MAF because I was pegging my other MAF at 5v. That is also going to allow me to move my methanol and nitrous further away from the TB and it will let it atomize it a bit more. I'm also toying with the idea of a 2 state nitrous setup where I'll use a dry kit for my first stage.

As soon as I get the new MAF in and get it tuned with the tweecer, I'll have firm dyno numbers again.

Oh, I've also been giving some serious consideration to some drag radials. I wanted to dump my 16" setup and go to a 17" setup. My current wheels are okay and my suspension helps keep the wheels gripping. But if I do get a first stage then that may be too much to hold without better tires.
