> Exactly. I mean essentially it is all in the tuning. I was running a bone stock 10.6:1 compression engine with 20+psi on a 30r. Granted that was on racegas and pushing it far beyond its limits. I say pick up some custom manifolds, A couple gt28’s and AEM and go to town!!

Along with TT; wrist pins, injectors, heads, exhaust manifolds and a few more parts. What about timing, is that adjusted via dyno tune?
