Cool I think this is your best bet and will work...

ps. To be honest I never realised the ATP set-up was that bad - I was actually considering buying one before I decided to go with a custom set-up...

Ya im thinking about buying that rnr setup thats forsale on here. im just tryen to get everything figured out first before i spend anymore money. and im deffinetly getting a 44mm, im pretty sure my 38 was making the boost creep about 5 or 6 psi on the dyno.

Just think, for the money you've spent and the amount you've wasted on tuning you could have just gone with a buschur cast manifold setup that's proven to make awesome power, spool great on the street, and is a better build quality (Tial44 vband, etc).

Live and learn....

You've already spent the money, why not try to maximize what you have first?

Do a search, there are guys on this forumn that have made 480 and 500awhp with the atp3076r @ 28-30psi-- I can't see why a 35r would be maxed out at 375hp no matter how bad the reviews are on the atp products.

I know that there are better products out there, but the fact is you now own this one. Try to work out the bugs before you toss it.

Just a thought.
