So, you're really looking at something closer to 10K for you're setup. Still solid IMO.

I dont think the cam gave it more power but it definatly helped quite a bit on the low end power exspecially b-4 the boost kicks in. I cant tell if the FMIC did anything, but it has alot more volume than the stocker so Im sure it has knocked down heat soaking issues alot (its gotta be better than the stocker during repetitive boosting). Also the AMS FMIC looks KILLER sweet!!! I reccomend both the cam & the FMIC for those who must mod!!!

Thanks for the response dude. I put down 305whp at AMS with my setup (in sig); trying to see if I want more in the spring, and what options I have w/o investing in a new turbo and all the supporting mods.

those are good questions.... on my car it seems like it only goes nuts to redline after 4500 RPM's at WOT...

but at 3500 rpm it seems to me thats too much boost at such a low rpm.... sounds like turbo surge....

All I can say is lets go for a ride. Guys, remember I also have Mivec. It has gotten cooler in my area so today I turned the boost back down a little to max @ 26PSI. In fourth gear my gage was reading 26PSI @ 3700-3750max rpms NO-BULL. In 4th gear Im already boosting about 5PSI by 2800rpms. The 50trim starts spooling @ the same rpms as the stock turbo did with a TBE on my IX. It doesnt start pushing you back in the seat really hard till around 3900-4100rpms & on up, but the gage is pegged at the set limit at least 200-300rpms before that. I dont know why mine spools so quick!! Is it the cam? the tuner? the Mivec? The meth? Anyway I like it & am happy with it, thats all that matters.
