Just out of curiousity andy, but what do you think about the rumors that the stock head will only hold 10-12 psi? and do you think that's on stock valves, springs, and gasket? cause if i understand what i'm reading, you're pushing 18psi on upgraded valves, springs, and gasket right? with no headwork at all?? what about a thicker gasket?
i hope to get in on dezod's group buy in january and work out the plan for boost soon after. pm me with your response plz.

Rep Power: 326 Traction is non existant. I can't hook up until 4th. As soon as I hit full boost I'm at like 250 whp and it keeps climbing steady.
I will hopefully be able to make it out to the track next weekend, we'll see. If I can get below a 12.9, I'll be happy for now, lol. Going to take some practice launching this thing.
Yeah Mike, cam and AEM EMS ftw! Hurry up and get that stuff so there's stiffer competition out there!
Up to this point, I was pushing 18 psi on completely stock head. Only thing was ARP headstuds. The only thing is, it isn't safe to raise the redline with a stock cam. And yes, I'm still running an OEM honda headgasket.
NO MACHINE WORK HAS BEEN DONE TO THE HEAD WHATSOEVER, STRICTLY CAM, SPRINGS AND RETAINERS, NOT EVEN UPGRADED VALVES! Lol

Rep Power: 326 Something you guys are going to have to take into consideration is more than just the cam. The intake and exhaust manifolds are a huge contributing factor to the setup. Don't expect to use an oem intake manifold and log style exhaust manifold and yield these kinds of numbers....evey car is different.

Rep Power: 326 There isn't one. We tuned off of my wideband, so the logs are all from the AEM. I would have to take a screenshot and you would have to be familiar with the logging software to understand it. It's in the low 11's-mid 10's though.

Rep Power: 214 <---- 18 psi on the stock head (port matched) FTW?!?!?
Andy, Im right behind you with the stock head ^^
But you will be in front until i can afford a cam.
Before the cam, i have something else hidden up my sleeve and you will be the first to see it andy. And no, its not nitrous or any sort of additive.

Rep Power: 326 I think I've got a good bit more in store much later down the road. The next mark is the 450 whp mark for me. It'll be with a gt3076r, 1,000 cc injectors, external injector driver, full port and polish job, all new ic pipes, bored tb, bigger intercooler, 3" open downpipe. That should get me to that mark, I think. Going to take some race fuel for this one.
Do tell Mike!

Rep Power: 257 So no more issues with that fuel pressure regulator? Any minor issues that went down that you forgot to mention or was everything pretty smooth for the most part?

Rep Power: 326 Yeah, the issue with fuel was that I had an injector locked shut. Once I replaced it, the regulator was fine. I'm running a -6 line for feed and return with 750's and the fpr so fuel delivery is no issue anymore.

Rep Power: 364 I saw the title of D17, but still... Its hard for me to grasp such huge numbers on the D17. I agree on the videos, maybe you'll get your hands on some equiptment. Just run into some Highschoolers with a cam and say you'll bring them to the prom in your car or something if they make a video for you. I woulda made your video in a heartbeat when I was back in HS. Good job man.

WOW, that is amazing! i know that you said the idle is worse but its worth it for the power that you are making. and i agree. but how much worse is it and is there anyway to fix it. man i hope that i see some kind of power like this when i turbo! if you dont mind me asking the specs of the turbo that you are running now? you can pm me if you'd like. keep up the great work andy.. now if dezod would make me an el manifold when i'm ready for it.. i'll be set!!! already talking to jdmfabtech about a future purchase for the intake manifold... so in due time!

Rep Power: 273 I just got your message Andy. Congrats man. Glad to see the infestation of those little car bugs has been stomped out, haha. If you still have that 57 trim on there making that power, I might not go as crazy with my next turbo. I'd be content with it somewhere in that area. I was hoping to see this post on the site, I've been watching, hehe.

Rep Power: 326 Yeah Gery, still running the same turbo....you may not need a new one after all, lol.
I'm not going to answer the emanage question, it should be rhetorical.
WTF is a stage III turbo? Have you read any posts on this thread at all? If you had, you'd probably realize it takes alot more than just a turbo to make power.
Waiting on you Kenny
Hit me up if you need any help.
