If you are running Uprev software and if you take the car over 400whp, you absolutely must buy an upgraded MAF sensor ($350 shipped from Uprev) or the car will forever run lean.
Also, just lol at Hill's pricing. Holy christ are they expensive.

I asked out of curiosity and here's what they quoted me for a custom tune:
-$1050 for tune (5 maps)
-$60 shop processing fee which you can cut in half by paying cash/check

No you don't. Larger intake piping will resolve that. Bump from 2.5 to 2.75 or even 3" will make stock sensors good for 600+ whp. Hell I'm getting 450whp ish on stock 2.5"

Hill's disagrees with you and says that going to 3" piping won't do anything other than make the car louder (which isn't a bad thing mind you).

I asked that very question. Hill's has been doing this for a looooong time.
It may be a peculiarity with the Uprev SW specifically. I don't know but they said that in almost all cases where people are running Uprev and are having issues making boost, the problem is that sensor.

Edit: By the way, your buddy James at RT Tuning agrees with me - well, with Hill's anyway.

hmm well im not sure how all of the turbo guys are running 500+ without error. I have no issue making boost? I know John said I was close to maxing mine with my current 2.5" so if I upgrade to 2.75" and the readouts are better its obvious that it does infact effect it. Which I have read that it does. That is why gtm ran 3" piping on their 1000hp car.
