Stock boost with the factory boost controller peaks at about 8 PSI.

With my supporting mods (see sig below) I'm running 5 on lo & 11 on high boost.
With the header dump open, it spools faster and I get 6 low & 13 high (14 on a cool morning).
The G-tech shows 220-233 net HP.

Maybe.

Driver skill could make the difference.

Cheat all you can.

I mean I think a stock 300 has 222hp plus he has a cold air intake which i 4got about so thats prolly 230, and if im not mistaken his car weighs about 300lbs more than mine, so im thinking it would be extremely close and would come down to drivers as well, which me and the 300zx driver are close in skill level...
