agreed. if youre looking for more power, you could always get a different turbo.

stock block b16 motors have seen 600+

get a real EMS and max out the stock map sensor. when you are tired of that, get a bigger map sensor and a larger snail :thumbs up

thanks for all the info. will be a 10 psi this weekend after some tuning and a dyno run. of course it wasnt my only ride the car would be fully raced out. but im quiet happy with the results i got so far. OOO ya if lookin for a good performance tire at $61.00 eace tirerack.com the general tire uhp works great even in the snow i got this weekend. i launched at 4500 rpm in the cold at 13psi in the tire. hooked right up perfect. dont let the price full you. i use to get bf goodridge street radials. theis work just the same. once a gain thanks:lol:

cost should NOT worry you. a great tune is what you want.

if you go to a shop , get a s**t tune for 200, and your motor blows, youll be paying more than just 300. if you go to a great shop, get a great tune for 350. you shouldn't worry at all
(but motors can still blow on great tunes)

Greddy kits don't have intercoolers do they? make sure you fix that in some way, with an intercooler or alky injection. otherwise i wouldn't go much higher than 5 or 6 psi

the greddy kits have intercoolers. have to buy them seperately, plus even if he's not Ive seen people who were boosted 5psi and didnt run a intercooler, and they were fine.

Yea, they will be fine at 5 psi, but hes talking about bumping the boost up to 10, which I wouldnt run without an intercooler.

yeah definetly need the IC for 10psi. My friend has a built Si, and his boost cuts at 10psi on his greddy kit. only thing is his motor is a built B18C1 w. a B16 head so..... he's able to run way more boost. lol.
