    Looks great Erik.

    So what's wrong with just using the E tape instead of the couplers? haha

    The current intake temps are so crazy the computer pulls crazy amounts of timing.At 11 psi I should be making about 150hp more than I am......but with a 260* intake charge I am seeing the pcm pull timing back to 16* when it should be at 20-21* and then it pulls 3-5* KR so it's losing crazy amounts of power.

    Water injection could have helped that. On top of that just trick the PCM and hide some of the IATs if need be.


    However, your taking the proper course.
