Correct. And the XFlash increases your performance while slightly improving fuel economy! I raced a friend who had an almost identical setup to what I had before and pulled him today. Pretty awesome stuff.

Noize,

Are you using a off the shelf base map, or did Shiv custom tune your car?

Shelf 93 octane map. As soon as there is a dyno day somewhere near me and the XFlash tuner is out, you can bet that I'm having the car custom tuned by Shiv. Getting another 10-15whp out of this setup on 93 would rule.

I haven't ran the Stage 1 yet, because the track has been closed for the winter. This past November, I ran a 12.91@107 with just an SAFC, test pipe, and muffler delete pipe. Now with the full dump-back exhaust, XFlash, and cam gears replacaing all that, I think the car has a ~12.50@110 in it exactly as it sits right now. I can't wait for an XFlashtuner/XEDEFlash and Shiv tuned race gas maps. I'm very excited about the enhanced output I've received from the Vishnu parts!

Excellent. BTW, I picked up the hose at the local dealership. They wanted $21!!

Oh well, I paid it.

Anyway, what do your boost levels look like with a turboback exhaust? I saw the boost levels for the stock ones that are stickied, but I haven't seen one for a car with an exhaust.

I'm hitting about 23 in the midrange and taper to around 17. Sometimes I taper to around 15 in 4th gear only at about 6500rpm plus, maybe because I'm catless. That's too fast for public roads anyway. It is pretty interesting, though. Even though my friend's SAFC+TBE+MBC Evo holds 19psi rock solid at redline with more fuel pulled out, the timing bump in the XFlash and the cam gears help me keep him held off at high rpm.

With the midrange bump, there's just no comparison. My car spools a lot harder and just pulls away.

If you're catted, you probably won't fall off quite as much. Right now, Shiv is experimenting with a different line to go to the BCS that will minimize spikes and work a litle better. That's another awesome thing I've noticed about this shop- They're committed to constantly improving their products. Pretty awesome stuff!
