(granted this is all in theory as no dynos have been posted yet)

excited to see

I have a hard time beilieving that they're going to get 300whp on 7psi. Jon is already making 240 at the wheels on 7psi. I'm sure the GReddy tuning is convservative, but I don't think you'll get another 60hp just from tuning. You'll have to up the boost a bit to get 300 at the wheels, but I think the GReddy kit is capable of that if you can get some one to tune the Emanage. Not to mention Jeff is at 225whp at 6 psi and he's doing his own tuning. His A/F is already at 12.5 (except for the minor spike to 13).

So, by the time you buy some Engine Management System and get it tuned your over $7k(assuming you install it yourself)...I can't justify that. Especially when the GReddy kit is plug and play for less than $3k.
