Question for PTP - SRT Forums

jusyjus · 06-20-2007, 12:21 AM

Hey, I will be running my SST here soon but will not be running off PCM boost. I will be running from the turbo. So my question is, with my mods listed, what boost pressure should I be running to redline to get a steady 300HP?? I want to just run the set-up like a S/3 without toys for now. HP at the wheels not the crank. Black SRT said he ran PCM boost 20 spike falling to 16. But i want to run straight off the turbo. Thanks!!

I run PCM boost and hit 311 with the SST. If 300 is your goal, you should far surpass it. If your looking to keep it 'de-tuned' to 300.....then I guess the 20 down to 16 might work for you.

First off get rid of that MSD coil. Then you can run 21 psi or more deppending on knock and AFR's. Your boost should not fall off at all if you have the correct WGA and MBC or EBC to control the boost. You should see 21 to 20 psi at redline.

The stocker seems to be the only one that has held up to any abuse. If its working for you then keep it but I have pulled over a handful of them off cars because of things that just didn't add up with HP levels and performance. They don't seem to down right fail, they just work 1/2 assed. Other then that, any other questions?

So far my MSD has worked fine (knock on wood) but I still have my stocker as a back-up.
