Default New numbers on meth!!

So I took my car back to RPM motors for an ECS alky install and tune. My previous numbers were 570/500. Since then I had RPM install a OZ700, both rear shafts, and the meth kit.

The car was de-tuned to 600whp and 526wtq!! Charlie had it around 620 but turned the wick down for safety. Peak boost was 10psi, and still with the restrictor plate in. I didn't get a chance to test it out due to some rain, but I will on Monday at LA Invasion.

Thanks to Charlie @ RPM motors for everything and ECS for putting together a great package. Hopefully I can represent on Monday and lay down some good times at the track.

Youre really not going to notice the extra 30hp on the street, but its cool to say you have a 600rwhp car

like the torque. What's with the fuel pressure dropping? any heads/cam? or is this stock ls6 at 10psI?

Are you running a BAP? I'd be a little concerned with your fuel pressure dropping off like that.

My fuel pressure never dips below 65, at higher boost I'm seeing 75.

Ya, I have a BAP and racetronix harness. So your FP increases with boost? I thought mine was normal as long as it doesnt dip below 58.

Before my BAP my fuel pressure was doing what yours was. The shop that installed my blower and tuned my car said they werent happy with that and wanted my fuel pressure to stay at least at a constant. So now I'm seeing a slight 5-10 lb increase under heavier boost. Under 8 lbs I'm usually seeing 70 psi, over 8 lb it increases to around 75. At idle and 0-5 lb its between 65-68.

Yours probably is normal. Speed Inc just didnt want me coming back with a blown motor within a month since I have a stock bottom end and they wanted me running as safe as possible.
