Going FI this month - given this scenario

If my car ever made 450+ I'd have to sell it. I don't have a pilot's license.
I'll be tickled silly with 350.

To get 350 on the ground, you have to increase boost, go to bigger injectors for the duty cycle open up the head a bit to handle it and put in a 3 bar sensor. I'd throw on a test pipe too.
Before you do that, you better see how you like 315 on the ground with your 457's.
I can't imagine driving that combination on anything slippery.

Raymo the setup you're getting at 8psi will give you around 315 rwhp on a conservative dyno and a safe tune. I think that's about 360whp.

I don't know what you have against Inline, but attacking anyone for stating a brief opinion is bad form.
Look, I didn't want to get into this, but since you want to keep this thing going, OK, let's. It's obvious "they" didn't want to keep it going since they haven't been replying since.
You wanna talk about bad form? OK, let's do that. I believe there is something in the site rules about a sponsor trash talking another sponsor's products. This is what happened. The ACT HD PP is sold by other board sponsors. Do you really want to push this? Because I'll push this as far as you want to push this. Do you really want to get into rules and regulations and "bad form". What, you really think that just because they are sponsors, that we aren't allow to negatively critique their statements? Sorry, I won't keep my mouth shut anymore for this reason alone. Past sponsors have shown poor judgement only to be left unchallenged. No more. You really wanna keep this up? Shall I solicit other opinions on this?
They don't reply because arguing about it just looks bad for them. I on the other hand don't make a living off this as they do so I really don't care. They really might have found excess wear on the thrust washers. I don't know if it was on the F20C/F22C or if it was the B series (because I've heard it happening on the B series before). However you're going by what you've read on these boards which...believe me is about as untrue half the time as things get. So many problems are hidden and no one posts them here on various items you would be very shocked.
I sell both and I've slowly been erasing my ACT line of items as I get rid of all my inventory. I think with the amount of time you have been on these boards xviper that you should know that half the stuff posted here isn't really the case. Could go for both inlinePRO's side and for the guys who've posted about their ACT. You had a good experience...that's great. Remember those threads about how great Joe Alaniz was and how much power could be gained with it? Well...I got suckered and bought one of his works and it cost me about $2000. He milled my head so drastically and gave me such bad advice on valve sizing that the head is almost garbage. The quality of install was very good and the porting was fairly decent by feel. Did I get the 40whp at low boost that I thought I was gonna get? Nope...not even close. It took about 2 years afterwards for people to finally start saying how POS his work is.
However, you are right saying don't buy this...buy this instead doesn't sound that great. That's just the way it works. There was a company over here telling people that the ACT HDSS isn't going to do well for a S/C and they should get the Spoon 3 puck for STREET DRIVING. Now that is just flat out BS and if you are going to attack anyone, you should attack people like them.
Personally I think the Competition Clutch stage 2 is just a better design than the ACT HDSS and comparable in performance. That's why I push it.

xviper, you've misunderstood me and Inline made a typo. No I don't want to continue this as it will have no beneficial outcome.
