13 non PP tuning questions

[501SHO]

Hey guys been busy and haven't had much time to be active here but have been doing a bit of tuning with HP and have hit a snag. I upgraded to a 3 bar map and set the tune up for 18psi and didn't notice a difference over my 15psi tune so started paying closer attention to the data, looks like the only limit i am hitting holding me back right now is exhaust temp. So now to invest in down pipes and intercooler at least.

On to my questions, is this the only thing I am going to run into on my push to 20 psi? I mean, im being pretty reckless woth the tune right now and the car seems like it loves the abuse. What are the common levels that guys push these to safely without investing thousands. With tuning, intake, exhaust, and minor bolt ons what kind of power will they actually make?


What would advised next steps be on my path to power, other then the steps noted above.

Thanks

Oh, and my thrittle body opens to 44 oercent max at W.O.T. any ideas as to whats up there would be great.

Engine > Exhaust > Temperature > ****** Temp Inv.

Raise that table. If you want help beyond that then upload your tune and logs as a .zip. The throttle is the primary means of controlling manifold pressure and isn’t going to open more than needed to hit the load target.

With good fuel you can make 400 whp without any upgrades
