370hp, right.....let's see the charts

i'd say you're maybe making 300ish and that's a conservative estimate

and it's not MagmaFlow, magma comes from volcanoes...

it's MagnaFlow

I'd take the HP numbers off the page until you have the dyno sheet to back them up..

You have a street port with no mention of aftermarket fuel system??

I agree with them. I'm almost at the same point as you, and I probably only put out 270 hp if that. You would be lucky to be over 300 I'd think, but maybe the street port would give you a bit more than that, but not a whole lot more.

first the page isn't finished yet so i have a few spelling errors and like i said its around 370 and i haven't dynoed it yet so its just a estimate i have to take the magnaflow off the page cause it didn't work out i'll keep my stock muffler til i can find a better one. and about the fuel system like i said its a "project car" its not finished yet i still need to put another $5000 before im happy with it.

The point is you have no where near 450hp, and I highly doubt 370hp. Claiming you have that much is just asking to be flamed.

I want in on the bashing too . I have one suggestion (it's gonna be a play on words...hehe). One turbo. Make it a big ball bearing turbo. Preferably T88 (Greddy) or T51-KAI (HKS). Also, get a fmic and new exhaust. New fuel system will help you reach that goal of yours. Do all the little things as well like tuning the car. Then, you might have 450hp.

he's probably serious

his car was bone stock, i sold my him my powerFC, he asked where the horsepower button was

then he said nevermind, he found it, it's the boost settings, just turn the % to 90 and the other one to 1.15 (maxed) and the car feels faster

i guess it's 370rwhp

dude im not that stupid to turn the powerfc up to 1.15!
and you didn't input the right settings when you sold it to me i had to reset everything. and i asked you where you where the boost settings were not the horsepower button.

and i never said it was 370RWHP i said its 370HP its i have no idea what the rear wheel horse power is yet read before you start flaming

lol, want me to post the conversation?

you said what do i do to get more horsepower, i was away from my computer, then you came back, and said you set it really high and it feels faster

i sold it to you with my map for a street port, i also told you to change the injectors to 550cc's

you were impatient and reset the unit
