broke loose!

I just wanted to let everyone in the FI world how excited I was once we upped the boost to 9psi. I was driving at abour 5000rpm and in 1st by about 5500rpm the tires break loose! Has anyone else had that pleasure of that wonderful feeling?
Plus when I drive people around in the car (its kind of like giving rides at the fair they all freak out when the seatbelt has to pull them back in the seat at high boost! Gotta love it, now I just have to get my mom's digital to post pics!
Now I want internals, more power!

Alcohol injection is not absolutely necessary

not ABSOLUTELY... but MUCH safer than relying onn stock injectors to flow that fuel... mine runs PERFECT on alcy, and ran a little lean aroun d 8+ psi w/o just trying to help her out.. with SF kit, i think highest w/o alcy is 7 psi imo.. than you need methanol.. not lkike it hurts..LOL

9psi=not problems yet and really fast
7psi= not really fast enough to take my husbands 00 exv6 accord w/ Comptech Supercharger
-I gave him trouble on Friday on the highway, nice to see I can keep up with him and our friend with the Honda Odessey motor swap in his v6 accord.
Still waiting on top speed in the car, haven't been able to try it out yet, plus dyno @ the E Town car show in NJ.

Your top speed should not change. You need to change out your final drive gear for more top speed. Right now you will just get there fast If you have a smaller tire diameter that what came stock than your speedometer will show you are going faster, but thats about it.
