RE: Got the car Dyno'd
more power = more money that is mathematical certainty, jdback19 just rebuilt his engine after blowing it up.
Mostof the FI kits out there can make 800hp or more but that is not realistic unless you beef up all the other components, engine internals, clutch, transmission, rear end etc etc.

RE: Got the car Dyno'd
I'm running the hellion kit as well - 13 psi on a built motor. Mine went south at 11 psi (515rwhp). This is my first FI car and i'm hooked. I went with the turbo because of the high HP potential without going to different belt setup or worrying about slip. I will be upping the boost shortly (510 is getting boring) and possibly adding methanol injection. I love the hiss inside the car, but it's not very loud outside, looking into different BOV's. My only regret is going lower compression on the motor (9.0) which cost me about 30 hp. I also run the spec 3+ clutch - no slipping, good pedal feel

Ya my numbers were 350 RWHP and 450 RWTQ and very rich(6.5 PSI) with major clutch issues around 3500 RPM's. He wasnt able to tune the car on the dyno bcause of this problem. I guess im going back to researching some clutch options. I was looking at the Spec Stage 2+ clutch and flywheel.

RE: Got the car Dyno'd
Glad to see posts telling the truth about forced induction. If anyone thinks they are going to make a dependable 500 plus, RWHP street machine, without beefing up the bottomend of their 4.6 3V motor, are just wrong. It’s a lot cheaper to do it right the first time than waiting till things come apart (usually around the 1,000 foot mark).
