Black '95 GSX... like 90,000 miles... leather, loaded, etc etc. So far I just upped the boost a little, running 14-15PSI, nice high flow intake, boost gauge for when I really turn that shiz up. That's all I got other than my system I put in there. Spring should include a new exhaust, bigger fuel pump probably, bigger turbo, possibly upgrading to a 16G from an EVOIII, 300-350HP probably

Figure the factory turbo is limited to about 270 at the crank, and the 16G is about 350 at the crank, plus the AWD system has a larger powerloss than you will. If you have the intake, and tune like you said then even if he is pushing 350 out you can still get him no problem as long as you hook up. Also if he has the system it may weigh him down a bit, he may risk launching hard it depends on how much faith he has in the mitsubishi transfer case but it can hold him launching high. This mean you better not, or do a nice burn out first. You will still have more torque and a better chance on the back stretch.

RE: Exclipse GSX

dont forget the fact that i too have a system weighing me down!

i talked to him again the other day and got this out of him

And I'm actually considering going with a 14b turbo, little smaller, but should be in the 300hp range... faster spool too. So, new cams, 14b turbo, full exhaust... lookin at ~290-300 awhp and hopefully even higher torque and spooling very quick...

RE: Exclipse GSX

any car that comes from the factory FI, can be NASTY!. thats why the cobras are so big! I've seen some pretty fast ones my self. but alot of them you see are kids that own them...not very fast. Correct me if im wrong here but if thats 260 to the wheels, thats pretty close to what a stock gt is putting down(& we weight alot more). well see, most of them dont run well up top; plus alot of them blow them things up(cheap FI modds)

PS- most people i run into braggin about modd and how hp they have...turns out they either dont know what there talking about, or there bs.
