Zoog, are you really getting 360 to the wheels because your mods just dont support that at all and if I had your mods I would just use #9's for the street and if you do a track event I would then use #10's or 10.5's but for everyday driving you just dont need to. IMO

stock turbos....is the wastegate ported? Should be if you are running a mp.
I have just about the same mods as you and I put down 288rwhp. Only exception is the mp and ic. I have a high flow cat from n-tech and stock ic (for now
) What I am getting at is not to flame you or not believe you but I use 9's all around and I don't have any problems. I would only use 10's at the track if I were you. $100 for all 4 is pricey!

I just went to the dyno and put down 337HP @13 with a very good A/F 11.9 and 321HP @10psi A/F 11.9
I am very pleased with those numbers but 360 had to be at least 14-15 psi

no, the WG is not ported, but i don't get any boost spikes but it goes to 15 psi sometimes on a cold night even at low settings with the profec B. if you guys don't belive me go to www.mzmperformance.com and get their number and call Mohammed or Mutsim and they'll tell you about the mods or if anyone is in texas they can go to their shop and they have a copy of my dyno. or call colvin automotive and ask them about the stock motor and stock turbo red RX7. i also did a THIRD gear pull at protech performance dyno in Austin,Tx and did 335 whp.

(whoever's running the 11's: you should go down a few ranges...) -gordon

Tune'n with out a wide band is very dangerous regardless you can pop a motor quick I would be careful and dont do it again
just a little advice because you can go poof in a split second. I am not saying you are not running the right amount of fuel or anything like that all I am saying is "it is like going to the doctor ear,nose and throat with out check the throat very vital and important as the rest" stupid saying but that is the only way I could think of how to say it

good luck

Rikki I bet you could have pulled off a higher number with the 13 psi... Maybe your IC was getting a little heat soaked standing still. I wouldn't be surprised if you got up to 350hp.
