About 230 NM's, that was last time it was dyno'd before I upped the boost (upping the boost knocked almost 1/2 second off the 1/4 mile time which is now 14.06 - this is still a tiptronic too so not bad).

I would still go the federal 595 RSR's
Great in the wet and dry, road and track.
Don't get the RS ones as they go off very fast.

That's about 199 foot pound in UK speak - a heck of an increase without a turbo or supercharger, what have you done to it?

Just read your epic thread mate, good result in the end although such a shame about everyone messing you around.
I tried 390cc injectors at first and configured the emanage so it would trim the fuel automatically but they were just too large and I had cold start issues with it over fuelling so dropped to 275cc ones - they have been fine.
I also fitted a larger fuel pump some time after superchaging since I had already bought it but I didn't have any lean issues with the stock pump.

Have you had yours on the 1/4 mile yet?

yeah it was a nightmare.... has put me off taking my car to anyone. i just do it myself now.

mine struggles a little bit with cold start as welll. runs rich.

im not sure how the pump is handling it. all i know that the emanage is telling me that my injectors are maxing out around 8000rpm. one day ill get around to upgrading fuelling. i really want to take it to the mainland where they actually know what theyre doing fixes it.

Hi Valandis,
The stock fuel pump should be good enough, maybe you need slightly larger injectors if your heads are flowing more than the stock ones but i'm surprised your injectors are maxed out.
I think my 275cc ones ran at about 75% duty cycle and that's on 7-8psi boost, have you changed the fuel filter recently as if not that would be my first job.
