Ryan - I saw your numbers; yes, very similar. I did not do a n/a baseline, so I don't know the actual gain.
I'm running low boost with the stock ECU. My tuner thought the A/F was fine. I wish I had a boost plot to see if I have any belt slippage on the top end; I would suspect I have a little...
The numbers may be optimistic, that's okay by me. I was actually a little disappointed they were so high, as I know what can be obtained with high boost and tuning, and that's probably in the 380 - 390 range. It's depressing to think what it would cost for 30hp. I would have rather seen that I was only making 320, with 60 to go on high boost!
I have certainly been watching the intercooler options with interest, and dreaming about opening the motor, forged pistons, intercooled high boost etc, etc. But that's big $$$.
I have been contemplating doing the new AEM FIC with a walbro 255, 550's, meth and high boost, but that will also involve a clutch as well, so I've just been enjoying driving it for now.
My tuner has extensive experience with meth, and actually suggested trying leaving the stock ECU and just going high boost and meth. I was surprised, as he's not reckless and looking to blow the motor. Much has been said about the resultant fuel pressure that would produce using the comptech rising rate regulator, as well as the ignition timing issue with the charge cooling, as well as Shad's comments regarding his inconclusive results with water / meth in conjunction with the comptech kit.
Thanks for the input,
- Craig
