Well I don't want to get greedy and break anything. I am going to Vivid Racing to have them tune it so I trust they will keep it safe. Mitch did an awesome job before.

my experience is anything under 32 is uneventful, Im at 35 (DD) and in perfect harmony!

im looking to go with the fp red and hfs-5 aquamist, along with some larger injectors soon. My current mods are larger o2, cosworth cams, adj. cam gears, mbc, 3'' fmic, licp, injen upic and intake, custom ss 3" tbe, and a fuel pump. Im thinking either 880 or 1000 cc injectors? port and polish my exhaust mani, and possibly run 33-35 psi.. Should i run 100% meth or mix.. and could i hit the 500 whp mark? also, where is a good place to get an awesome tune so i can have my stock internal motor last lol.. thanks

depends on your whole setup but the ported stock stuff will work just fine.

This is exactly what I'm running. Buschur ported OEM mani and Buschur 65mm TB. After swapping to the mani/tb combo i went from 437whp peak to 452whp peak. With even more impressive gains in the midrange. I love how the Red just takes everything and makes it better.
