ask JDback LOL................its all about your tune, if you have an intercooler or not, the method of FI, and your tune. also, your tune is very important.

I am at 9psi with my turbo. I put down 392 rwhp and 404 rwtq in 90% humidty. We could of got 40-60 more hp out of it at the 9psi, keep in mind this was on a mustang dyno. I am really happy, this all done with 20" rims eating up HP. also dyno run was shut down at 5100 rpm and hp and tq still climbing. Tune is everything

I'm running a Saleen blower with a 3.4" pulley at about 10psi peak. That being said I'm not racing around all day either. It's a daily driver and I like to just have the power when I need/want it. Most of the time it's normal driving.

I'm running a procharger at 10 but it puts out 13 lbs at 6300 rpms. I am actually having it defanged a little on saturday, until engine rebuild....present rwhp makes me nervous although a/f ratio is 12 all the way. It's getting plenty of fuel now.

Thanks for the info guys! Hopefully I will be putting my order in for a turbo setup next week. Can't wait to get some more ponies under the hood.

Hey TexStang06
It was great fun meeting some of you by Rudy's. Since then, I decided to change out the 5 speed for
a full manual autofrom FB Performance Transmissions in New York. It's rated for 900 hp and cmes with a trans-brake and high-stall torque converter. Will make launches so much easier and consistent. I ordered it yesterday.

Will contact the club next time I head out that way.
