What should I expect?

I have a 93 fd with 45k miles. stock engine. hks downpipe, k&N cold air box, Hard pipes, Greddy Stock Mount Intercooler, Greddy hard elbow, Greddy Exhaust, Bonez Hi-Flow Cats, HKS BOV, and I have a Apexi Programmer with commander. I have never got my car dynoed, or tuned, but it is going on wednesday. What should I expect from the dyno? They are also gonna tune it, and put a bigger fuel pump in. will they get a lot more power from her? If they do push more power out of it, will it make my car less reliable?

Does anyone that has a similar setup have a dyno sheet?

That was 'don't be a ricky' with his secret sauce if I remember correctly

I am at stock boost, but since I put my intercooler on I have been pushing 13psi on my gauge. Could I safely raise my boost to say 15?

hope you got an upgraded ECU. my understanding with the mods you have that you need a power fc or something like it (haltech, etc) to push that much boost safely. anyone care to comment on this?

On my previous FD, a 94 with about the same mileage as yours, I dynoed at 311 with about .85 boost and low 11 AFRs. My mods at that time were an intake, dp, cb, hi flow cat, Greddy SMIC and Power FC.

Mine is similar. Pettit dp, gotham high flow cat, custom cat back (restricitve), pettit large ic, pettit air intake, power fc with a very rich tune: 275 at the wheels at 12 psi.

Based on my air/fuel I was told with a better tune I should be getting 320. That might go up a bit with a better cat back and even more with more boost.
