Edit: I think that is also with a UEL manifold which may not be optimal.

I would hope that with 93 and a slight drop in compression that 320whp would be possible, but Matt you can let us know how the TVS900 goes on a built motor and greater cooling capacity in due course!
How much boost are they making on the smaller pulleys?

Also, if TJ is running 91 octane and a built motor, what was the motivation for keeping the stock CR? i would think dropping it a few points would give the tuner a little more room, as far as timing and fuel goes. do you guys just figure that the DI setup is good enough to overcome a detonation problem?
