Nice, **** I'd be happy with 400.

What would you suggest doing to get 400, other than a Meth kit. This is my DD, so I still want it to be safe and reliable.

No reason why meth can't be safe and reliable as long as it's tuned properly. My old Evo was my DD and ran meth everyday in it

So you guys would suggest Meth? Could someone explain it more carefully, I havn't heard much about them. Is it liek running race gas or what? Do I have to buy more "meth" or something for the tank?

well if ur running meth kit, you ALWAYS have to have meth, if you run out, ur screwed because your car is only tuned for meth unless you spend more money and get a fail safe setup where it will switch over to another map automatically when ur meth runs out. it's a big hassel buying meth constantly and checking to see if you have enough.

Did you adjust the boost directly from the Forced Performance wastegate actuator?

Damn nice numbers and power curve!

Meth is the cheapest way to 400whp.... Turbo upgrade would be the next big jump in power... Realistically though youre around a 110-112 car with your mods, that dyno's reading a bit high, besides the point though. In the future when you dyno to compare mods just make sure you go back to the same place so the results are comparable.


Meth kits start at $305 shipped for a labonte kit and comes with everything you need. I would also suggest a failsafe for some added protection. As long as the install is done properly and the tune isn't over the top there's not much that can go wrong. I ran it on my car for 25-27k and never had an issue.

I've done alot of testing with my car and learned that its possible to make more power with meth than race gas on the stock turbo. My mod list was..

megan downpipe
hallman mbc
ebay fmic
meth kit
filter and adapter
walbro
Self Tuned

On c16 i wasn't able to make over 415whp pushing it to the ragged edge. With meth i was able to make more power with a less aggressive tune.


Cheers!

On the same dyno I was going 91/115mph with 366whp in an SSL Evo. That clutch won't last long though if launched some.
