Mmmmmm.....lol

What's your boost?

 

stock

 

13. But just wait til Stage 2 goes on this week and then whenever the 2.9" goes on and I'll probably be around 17ish too

 

my gauge pegs then shuts off under wot


25 psi

 

what kind of boost will I be looking at with 2.8 and 60lbers?

 

17~18 depending on elevation and what not

 

ah right on.

 

You also have the TVS 1320 though right?


it shuts off???? haha

Yea, that was at like 6K rpm in 2nd gear though. So it still had about a pound left in it. When the weather is cooler outside I see closer to 20. And you should see the same.

Go with the 42.5's. You'd be too rich with 60's.

 

yeah thats with the tvs i hit 20 and it sits there till 4~5k and shuts off to zero

no you won't, get tuned and you are fine.

 

Im getting tuned by anomolous. He's lives an hour from me, been running them for over a year no problems.

 

you will be fine with the 60's trust me

 

yes you are correct. It will actually be perfect with 60's

 

But don't these cars smaller power gains with the bigger injectors and saller pullies? Ex. 2.5 and 60's?

 

42's are maxxed on a stage 2 tune, that tune can be tweaked to make it better but i personally don't like it a 2.9 is really pushing it, but thats just my opinion. The 60's can be used for stage 2 if you want to you just have to tune accordingly

 

Well I know I won't be taking my car to get custom tuned or anything....First off nobody around here that I know of does it. Plus I'm not having any problems with my car....

Well, my cat has some broken pieces in it from my car being a little too rich and added air flow. But I'm gonna be getting a ZZP 2.5" DP w/cat delete. Or also considering a high flow cat.

 

You would be surprised to see how that little thing is ticking. If anyone around you has hpt just get it scanned and see what is going on

 

yeah it may "feel" like its running right, but underneith its all kinds of bad. Kinda like having cancer lol

 

You can't safely a run 2.8 on 42# without meth

 

well you can your car might have something to say about it down the road

 

...fixed post

 

you can kinda half assed run a 2.8 on 42s up here in the thinner air, if its tuned right. But like lsj said its not a good idea. It will max the injectors right out and its too much of a risk for a daily driver like I have. that's why Im going with the 60s, properly tuned.

 

One of my favorite moments with my car was when I was out tuning, and I did a pull while watching the boost gauge, and it pegged it at 20 psi right around 6900 rpm Stock eaton w/ 2.6" pulley and heavy porting. After its back together, I'll be happy with ~12 psi with a 2.9"

 

Stage 2 with a 2.8" pulley = 19.5 psi for me, went stage 3 with a 2.8" pulley... now 16 psi WTF???

And yes I have 42.5 lb injectors, with this pulley over a year of HARD driving and still not motor trouble yet.
