I maxed my MAFs around 500whp when I had the 2.5" piping. I don't recall what percentage I'm at with 3" piping. I wouldn't be surprised to run out at 600whp.

440-450 is a good amount of torque. I'm hoping to hit around 550-575whp with the direct port methanol kit. With E85 the ethanol can range too much from a pump, unless you're getting it from a can / drum.

I assume that's a built block for a torque number that large.

I'm not a fan of methanol. It's not that it doesn't work, it's just another mechanical system that can malfunction and a tank that runs dry.

550 wheel horsepower, not 550ft-lbs torque lol. I'm using the Aquamist Methanol kit as a safety net more than anything. The Aquamist kit has been pretty good so far. I'm running a boost controller so it's going to be a mild tune around town then a more aggressive tune. I run a can of Torco octane booster on every fill up as well.

Well after looking how they hooked up the Greddy boost controller, I see they didn't drill out the manifold and they did two tee's off the big line in the back of the manifold. I will fix it when i get the parts but I wanted to know if this would cause the issue i am seeing? the car is running great i just want to get the gauge up and running. Ill get a picture and post it up asap.
