Funny you ask. I don't have one yet. Their still working on it I was last told. I ll ask again when I talk to them today. But it was either wait for my kit just because of that or get the kit with out one.

I would guess at sea level and on a Dynojet close to 280whp.

I could not say one negative think about the tune or the car. If there is something that disappoints me it's the boost that I am getting. I want more. Some postives super easy to install, no drilling or tapping into the oil pan. I talk to the guy with the P&l get and he's said that was a pain. The power this kit gives you is so smooth and pull's hard all the way through. You also get great service from Vortech and Perrin.

.... MORE POWER? UR SUCH A JUNKIE!!! LOL So, if there was a kit that provided more power you would have done it instead? Or am I confusing boost vs. power?

Honestly no. I like this kit. From the looks of it to the quality of parts that came with it. I am excited to see what the other supercharger put out. But when I get the right pulleys and everything I see this kit putting great power out. Just going to take sometime. It is one of the few out there.

I only drive it only sun days when the streets are dry. The plan was not to drive it all during the winter but that changed when I got my kit.

I'm tired of people talking about E85. I don't have much in my area. I want 91 octane tune!

There is 1 E85 I know of in all of the atlanta area....

For you my friend I have this. Before going to E-85 I had him also make me a new 91 map because if the new fuel pump and injectors. I think it made 221hp and 160tq. And that is with vary little timing adjustment.

Im just looking for 300-350whp, id love the response of this kit but I want to see what this kit can deliver with the nameless header/headerback. Maybe that will get this kit closer to my goal.

Really? Just looking for 350whp. Like that's no big deal on a 2L 4 banger.

Not knocking your expectations, nor do I think they're unrealistic I just wanted to point out your usage of the word just. It makes it sound like developing 200bhp/L "ain't no thang".

With 350whp this car would be practically undriveable on the track without major chassis mods. I mean, wheels with big rubber, suspension, brakes, and clutch, all would need serious upgrades. For a drag car, sure. But that is a good amount of power that will be hard to put down.

I think 280whp is great at sea level. I'm also at high elevation, so there is a huge drop in power with higher altitude. I'd like to see 250whp uncorrected. This will put the car around 300whp at sea level. This is really good power.

A lot of people forget or don't realize the beauty of a turbocharger's ability to compensate for thin air (elevation). A waste gate will only open when it's set psi is reached. That means in high altitude the turbo will work a little harder but the end result is the same psi you would get at sea level. There will be a tiny bit more lag as the turbo has to work harder and spin faster to get the same boost pressure.

Turbos are better for higher elevation than superchargers as a superchargers boost pressure is not determined by a waste gate but a set pulley that cannot adjust to elevation.
