ive been running 1.5 bar (which is 20-22psi) for about 8 months now. I really dont go by what everyone says, i go by what the dyno says. I am running a 12.5 Air/fuel which is Good. Not too bad, over 13.0 is when you have to worry. Stock fuel system is good enough for about 300-340 hp from what i believe. I am at 327 now, if i put a 62mm TB and ported intake, ill easily go up 10+ more. Also if i had a better turbo. Ive learned that as time went by, running boost at 20+psi on this turbo is bad. My turbo now doesnt hold as much boost as before. When i started, i was able to hold 20psi to 6k, now i drop to 17. And i have absolutly not 1 boost leak. I pressured my system with leak tester, and the next morning i still had pressure. BUT, its always best to be safe. I personally think everyone who gives advice goes with the safe side of things, i personally go for what gives me more power. Here in miami, all the srt4s are running hard with stock turbo with stage 0. All they have is AGP, FMIC, Fuel Pump, and about 18 psi boost and are running good. Since i put the cams in the car, these srts cant keep up with me because of my power band. Stock srt4 will die to about 210 hp at 6k rpm. Me, i die also, but +40 hp on top of you. 8 months running hard, and increasing in power as time goes, 50k Miles on my little girl, Dont know what to tell you. Ill be posting the Return line soon. Im getting a fuel pump tomorrow. So that would be good. I a going to do big turbo setup soon also.

 

Word; I am still stock. I have a computer in a box. I still need some supporting pieces before I can put it in. Hopefully, by this summer I'll be running it.
I'll be at stage 2 ++ but w/no toys (yet).

 

Dominican: When you put the cams in and they went rumpety rump, was that installed at zero? If yes, then what did it take to smooth them out? Advance, retard or both? What were the final settings? I'm cool with a guesstimate if you're not sure. Just give me an idea.....

 

The idle was nicely crazy, I have -3 intake and +2 on exhaust to smooth out the idle and give power from 3000-6200 rpm. These specs were tuned by Rage Technologies. He has cams for sale for super cheap also.

 

Cool! Thanks...
