Turning my quest into a dsm.

^exactly what I said.
then I told him, don't stop at 20psi. 23 or 24 isn't unreasonable.

Ya, but that's based on your DSM experience. How much boost you can run on pump is directly related to how efficient the rest of the setup is. Maybe the quest head will limit this, maybe not. I just think if guys run 25psi with these on dsms and evos, a quest should be able to do at least 19 or 20.

One step at a time though, glad its running, now keep it that way! And get some freaking tie-downs on those injector clips! LOL @ subaru comment! :D My car is running like ass, sounds JUST like a scooby...bwahahaha I luv it.

The emergency fix on the dyno was zipties for the easy-to-access injectors and a piece of heater hose ziptied to another heater hose wedged over the clip on the #4 injector.

Now I know who to call when I need a vehicle to tow a boat :)

Car looked good yesterday man. I need to get a ride in it one of these days. +1 for more boost! Maybe even a little E85 for good measure :D

The torque on that thing is crazy! I'd definitely not hesitate to throw a few more PSi at that thing.

What is your compression ratio?

[FattyBoomBatty]

8:1

New injector plugs/clips are on. There is a little hesitation right when you tip into the throttle like when you're taking off, and kindof a miss or something if you dip too quick while driving. Not big problems though. It pulls cleanly.

Nice dude, you have big enough injectors for some E85? That thing would own on teh corn!!

Don't get too carried away with the boost. It's hard enough to run 20+psi of boost on pump gas with DSMs at 8.5:1 or 7.8:1, and often when you can, you have to pull out so much timing that it makes the same power it did at less boost. A DSM is not an Evo and a Starquest is not a DSM. Evos heads, pistons, combustion chambers were designed to handle 19psi stock on pump gas, DSMs only needed to handle around 12psi.

The accel fuel probably needs more work. We could play around with it on the street some night. It's usually hard to get all the accel fueling transitions perfect on the dyno, especially with AEM EMS Mustangs and Vipers.
