looks like some sort of non-NA tuning to me 
Good numbers Justin. So next is more boost, and a thinner head gasket. I knew you wouldn't resist to keep modding. hy not build the head since your going to have it off anyway.

Hard to say, but lets play hypothetical:
Lets say your baseline peak at 195 @ 8200 rpms...
VAFC tune FIRST. Now you'll peak about 205 @ 8750
then Comptech CAI might get you to 209
then Fujistubo legalis R might get you to 213, but it'd be needed to make the numbers that'd follow:
Berk tp to 219
j's header to 227
toda's flyweel to 230
krank vents to 232
thin head gasket to 238 (big power if other mods are there to help, my guess)
and a ported throttle body and matched manifold at the end to tap 240.
These numbers are all speculative, and depend ALOT on the health of your motor.
...that's my guess. I'd say for safeties sake, add a +/-20% error to all the gains up there.
Putting the stock throttle body back onto a ported manifold really isnt going to affect that much.

I'd say that those gains are already an optimum...and that he may only be at 230whp after all that. The Fujitsubo, intake, and flywheel probably wont gain all that much. Though I know that their combined gains will be a little better.

1. Change in outside temperature
2. Change in engine operating temperature
3. Having the 02 sensor in the tail pipe versus not having it in there
4. etc. etc. etc.

My plan was to have Laskey Racing build the block, to include head work. However, since Earl passed away I don't think that will happen now. If inlinePRO wasn't on the other coast I'd have them do it. Some day my wife and I may take a road trip there!
I know I was sad to hear about laskey also, i was hoping to do business with him in the future too.
backfire is a good thing man. it'll scare the cops away when they try to pull you over. shoot flaming bullets out at them.

BTW guys...I may be selling my T1R 70RT exhaust. With my turbo kit now installed, the exhaust is back firing like crazy when I let off the gas and the RPMs drop. So, if nothing can be done via engine management I am going to have to sell it because I cannot have the extra UNWANTED attention.
how does it sound vs the T1R 70? I just installed this Exhaust and it is SOO raspy I think im gonna make a For sale thread soon.

I don't know for sure...probably $1,000 or so. Its 100% titanium and worth every penny. I have never heard the T1R 70R, but from what A&J has told the the 70RT is a louder than the 70R. I myself liked the sound of it and would love to keep, but not at the expense of attracting attention from the po po.
Shouldn't it be a little more quiet now compared to being NA. If the poping is loud then i understand what your saying, but if they are minor then I don't think you'll have to worry about the po po.
My exhaust would pop in between shift or if i would let off the gas too. as big and as liud as it was i never got a ticket for it. I got two speeding tickets with it on and they wrote me for tints ounce, but both times didn't car about the exhaust.
