Good, that'll level out the 230 rwhp N/A field

With the GT30R, that'll put you in the same ballpark as a couple of the Tampa boys...you should be sitting somwhere around 430 at the rear

Until I have my fuel system converted to a return fuel system, I will be limited to ~8-9 psi of boost. Not sure what that will make at the wheels, but we'll see shortly. Sometime next year I will have the fuel system converted and will either get the inlinePRO 3mm headgasket or build the engine.

How many miles do you have on your car WildCard? Could it be age that's causing some loss of hp?

74008 miles. 48000 in the last 2 years. She's got some miles under her belt, I'm sure there's a few items that could use some refreshing. I'm not blowing any smoke, so I'm pretty sure my rings are ok. I do have slightly above average oil consumption...1 quart every 2000 miles.
When I first got it, I had no oil consumption...
My retainers looked ok when I just had them adjusted 2 weeks ago...
I do have a slow coolant leak that's just developed in the last few months, I wonder if it's time to replace my head gasket?
