Exactly. To further simplify - your injectors are tuned to spray in an exact amount of fuel for each specific amount of air coming in. If you up the boost without adjusting the fuel, you could end up with more air than fuel in the mix which is called "running lean" and can cause the engine to basically melt down.

I would agree that cams, some sort of boost control, and a good tune is a great start towards making good power.

I noticed that you are in AZ and given the heat in the SW, have you consdered a more efficient IC? (I didn't see one in your sig).

I thought about it, but from what I read the stock one was supposed to be good for up to 400 hp...

What do you all think? It definately gets really hot here in the summer months... average about 110

I wouldn't risk it if I were you. It's not worth it.

Well, I picked an AGP front mount today and installed it. That should help out with the coming summer months.
