When you get upwards of 25-26 you should upgrade

22-23 is perfectly fine with stockers

Personally i upgraded as i am using more than 23-24psi sometimes and it was highly suggested by Al when installed my cossie cams...


Currently i am using 25-25.5psi spike. When i empty this gastank i will reduce to 22-23spike...too cold to be playing around with over 25psi! I dont trust the Advans with these tempratures...

This is kind of a silly question to ask.. As you already may know, each dyno is different on its reading. And just because one dyno says you hit 400whp, doesnt mean anything.
I could understand if you asked, "what do I need to hit :insert trap speed here:", but the idea of the dyno power is stupid.
Hell you want 500whp? Ill make it show, 500. You want 600whp? Ill make it show 600. The Dyno #s are not that significant. If you wanna hit 115+ mph in the 1/4 then you will probably need everything you posted (meth+cams) and throw in a race gas tuned map.

Well in that case if the #s do not technically have to equal up to a track speed #; then simply find a higher reading dynojet. Do either the cams or meth, and try it out on pump. If it still doesnt hit 400, then throw in some race gas, tune and turn up the boost, and iam sure itll be in the 400s for ya.
Or did you simply wanna do this straight pump? If so, depending on the dynojet, could possibly just be there with either cams or meth.

I think I may do pump and gas because I feel the IX cams may be improved soon or anothre company may develop a better performing cam

If I had to honestly choose between meth or cams for the IX, I would say meth.
I dont see to great of a improvement for the cams on stock turbo IX's.. If you were talking about larger turbo IX's, then ya alot of them make 50whp more. But on stock IX turbo, I dont see the setup being useful.

i think you should get cams and on occassion race gas, because you dont have to run any tap of monitoring system incase the meth runs out. with cams and race gas you can have differant maps using ecuflash to use the full potential of your car if race gas is not near by. 10 - 25 whp all the time when you want it is better then ???whp when meth is in the tank

With meth and the cams you can easily exceed 400whp on a Dyno Dynamics (we ve seen a post from Dynoflash with a car that had a HUGE manifold leak, however exceeded 400whp on the Dyno Dynamics).

DEFINITELY you need head studs, fuel pump and i think as well noted you are, we are in the limit of the stocks injectors...

I prefer to use race gas on occassion instead of having meth... So i went with the cams and not the meth kit...
I dont think 400whp is possible on pump with bolt ons on a IX, i dont care on what dyno.. Id say maybe 375 tops but 400whp is another thing

So wait, its possible on an EVO8 with bolt on's and a IX turbo, but not on a IX ?? I dont understand that logic Miguel.

My car has all bolt on's, cams etc and an EVO9 turbo and it hit 409 on a DynoJet, 347 on a Dyno Dynamics

So your telling me your car made this on pump? Then take it to the track and see if your traps match that power.. Looks like that dyno reads high as hell or you got a freak for a car
