We have 6 injectors. That's like 825's in a DSM.



Yea I guess that makes sense, but you also have 6 cylinders. But I guess with two extra cylinders you don't need big injectors to make that kind of power.

I would believe at least 350 which is good however you look at it.

I know for that every 1000 feet in elevation you climb, you lose 3% of your engines output capacity, and vice versa for descending in elevation, so you gain 3% every 1000 feet. So you should get a good bump in power going down 5000 feet; roughly 12-15% or so gain. But I don't know how they compensate for a tune. I'm almost positive you will have to get it re-tuned when you bring it back to your elevation. Atmospheric pressure @ 7000 feet is 11 PSI and @ 2000 feet it's around 13.5 PSI or so, and that's a good difference.

Just out of curiosity, are you buying the car somewhere in Wyoming?

Any of the tuners here know what the deal is with getting a re-tune?

thats what i figured because my friend has a 400WHP evo in littleton, co (~4000 ft) and hed have to get a retune if he were to bring it up to laramie (7400 ft)

ok so if the car is running rich in laramie will it lean out a little bit more if he brings it down here?

what im saying is i think he got it in wisconsin and it was tuned. then took it to laramie without retuning therefore running rich the whole time. so maybe returning to a normal elevation will bring it back closer to that optimal range.
