get high compression pistons and you can get 350 on 10 psi easier.. but since you have a lower comp one you should need more boost to get to that.. just be generous on boost man, doesnt matter if you run higher boost when you are built

yea ive thought about that....14psi is lookin good though
...had a problem with boost blowing out my spark on cylinder 4 so i tightened the gap to .30 and it is running great now...just waiting till around 1030 to street tune so theres no traffic.

how did it go man?
I thought i had a problem with boost blowing out my spark. it ended up being i never set the knock sensor up correctly and i was pulling timing for VERY VERY VERY minor knock.. Not sure if emanage works the same..

yea it was just blowing out the spark....went out and tuned for 3 hours last night....its running great now.....as i was heading home a new is350 wanted to race...went from a 50 kick and had him by a car and a half by 80mph and i was only at 5psi....i tuned it to run 11.2 in boost just to be on the safe side....tonight ill tuned daily driving....its got a couple lean spots just driving through town...after that i pick up my motor from the machine shop and then i am starting the assembly....ill be racing in montgomery at the track and ill post up time slips....i wont have the built motor in then so ill prob only be around 6 psi...who knows...i might go for 10psi at the track
