ur gonna need more engine build then that to be safe. Im going to be running my G5 GT with meth with 10 psi haun stage 2 turbo with a tune i should be at 300WHP from what the tuning shop said. Without major engine mods and axle mods and stuff your going to brake something. Just going by what my mehanic said.

i'd talk with Dan, Allen, and Wes(DJT, Witt, WSfrazer) down in PA before i went to Tune-Time.
they'll build that motor stout and correct, as well as there ability to tune.
after all, that was the vary same shop that calls(ed) the 60's "untuneable"
just a thought.

Where is pgh? i got a quote from tune time for 400 bucks for a full dyno tune. Oh and for #'s at 15psi i did not dyno it, however in theory and on paper it should have been over 300WHP, closer to 320-330whp.

wow, im running 11 psi now and was thinking of getting a boost controller and meth to go up to 12 psi but seems too close to the 15psi breaking point. My tranny is gonna go hopefully before my engine ever does.

My AFR was reading perfect at the time i bent the rod.... I was running at WOT @ 15PSI for well over 30 seconds and blew a rod at 150MPH. Im gonna have to say it was mechanical lol.
also... what rpms were you at? 150mph..... there's the other reason lol there's no reason to be running 150 mph.. for over 30 seconds ....

Well since i could only see AFR off the gauge in my car i have no idea about the rest 8). And it wasnt 150mph for 30 seconds it was 0-150mph in 30 seconds or whatever the time frame was. Regardless it was WOT @ 15 PSI up till 150mph when the rod blew hahaha.
whats your rev liimiter?
yea.. going 150 at all will definitely show if your tune has any issues.. considering i dunno anyone who does 5th gear pulls for tuning lol
15psi at 7k might be pushing it a bit hard.. the only thing hahn changed on their car is the valve train.. so they could rev it over that .. NA i have a 7200 rpms
but boosted i'd run to at most 6800 because of fear of float and smacking the pistons.. then bending a rod lol
