Thanks!! The car has a little more in it, I could turn the boost up a bit and take it to around 650-680ish. But I had a 2 hour drive back home and didn’t want to push it. My tune I was running is conservative as well. I’m glad to be part of a group that actual does things. The people around Des Moines never ever ever do anything worth the drive.

Have not been to the track with this set up. I need to do a little work on my shep tranny's 3rd gear. I’m tired of shep though been through 2 of them at 2500 a pop it gets old when it does not last for shit. I am going to try Jacks this winter.

Another thing is I need to pick up some slicks and light wheels for it. I do not have much traction until 3rd gear on nitto nto5's. However, in order to do that I need to get rid of my big brakes up front to fit smaller rims



Did anyone else notice that the dyno psi was reading about 2 psi high? My map (omni 4bar) and boost gauge (aem electic) in the log were both lower.

Wow you drove all the way up from IA? That's kick-ass!

Defiantly check out the cruises we have in the spring and fall.

You know, I did as well! It shows me running 35.5psi to make 599whp and my logs only show 34.0 (peak).

Do you have any info on the rest of your setup? I can't remember if you have a build thread on here or not, just curious! Thanks again for making the trip up!

I know, it sucks. This is why I still drive up for every MitsuStyle cruise and try to make it to dyno days. I really wanted to make this one but had a race last weekend.

Where do you live in Iowa? I live in Des Moines.
