No sign of maxing out the injectors ..... yet .

LOL good luck man.

I have my BC setup right now so once I go back to the dyno (shortly again, Haha) I'm sure I will have more power.

/\ Cool man - I'm pretty sure I'll fall short of your dyno but I'll have a crack nevertheless .

need :
bigger intercooler
bigger injectors
bigger exhaust
bigger air cleaner
upgraded coils

then i might give you a nudge ...

I've wondered if my air filter is holding me back or not....it's a 5" tall conical K&N filter with a 3" inlet...it's not that big, it fits behind the bumper laying on top of the crash bar so there isn't that much room.

With the larger intercooler I can I can't fit the AEM intake to drop the filter behind the intercooler...unless I remove the crash bar which I don't really want to do

I thought about running without a filter - would that be cheating ?

The ls2 coils seem to be working great with the dwell adjusted btw
I haven't had a misfire yet

I was starting to get a misfire on stock coils so I added 10% to the dwell table and it went away .

LOL yes

unless you plan on driving it that way!

I honestly had a hard time getting a filter to fit in the spot I needed it to...I had seriously thought about running with 2 or 3 layers of mesh with 1mmx1mm holes. If I layered it right in a criss-cross pattern it would block 99% of stuff entering the intake (not to mention it's covered by a bumper anyways) so only dust would get it...not sure how I feel about that LOL

I've seen other turbo cars do it- just a piece of mesh over the inlet to the turbo held with a clamp

your setup sounds almost identical to mine . The filter is really jammed in there .

what about taking the element out and leaving the mesh support in place .... hmmmm

Ya, that could work. Honestly nothing big that would cause damage would get in there....only dust and the like. I'm not sure how the MAF would like dust flowing across it....

booked in to dyno monday morning our time (sunday afternoon US time)

Chicken - how much pressure loss do you get across your intercooler - any idea ?
The dyno guy thinks i have way too much (about 4 lbs at approx. 350g/s )
