(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.

The only way to actually know is for someone to go out and purchase it. Run before install dyno and after install dyno... as well as an after tune dyno. But, someone has to be willing to crap out the 6500-7500 for all this on the hunch that it 'should' be more powerful. I know there are plenty out there with this sort of capital.
