Am I good for low 12s yet on this 9.8 hotside turbo?
So you have it half-tuned w/ 4 wl slide? How did you get the dyno #'s ? (Still trying to get mine squared away w/ mitsu dealer :|

Ill let you know how it turns out.

Here's my old numbers before cams: 287 whp 263 Tq

Here's the newest numbers after the S1's (102*F) 309 whp 308 tq

Hopefully after i install the nine turbo and with the addition of my new ebay 02 housing i'll be in the 335-345 whp range on 93.
My bad. I was trhinking the dyno #'s from this post.

So was this increase dyno'd between the cams being tuned by Mellon? or someone else and you are going with him next?

Sorry for straying, but wondering if the cam route is smarter to start with according to most of these posts to this thread, like the OP was asking.

you should be in the high 11s, but the only way to find out is to go to the track and actually run you car. who knows, maybe you're in the 13s.
