copied from CF: Just finished getting the car off the dyno to see what she would make on **93 Octane Pump Gas**. We ended up with **956whp STD** and **934whp SAE** at **14psi**. I’m very happy with the results especially being on a conservative tune. Conditions were 91 degrees Fahrenheit with 36% Humidity. Going to stick a little race gas in her and turn the boost up soon. Thanks to Nelson Performance for making this dream come true. Enjoy.
