Before I was maxed out on fuel running 259WHP but now we have tons of room with the new injectors. Like I said I have 299WHP @ 15psi (373ish HP)
Run 33 was near the start of the re-tunning of the new injectors just to show how much it went up
Run 49 was the best run and what we saved the maps at. This stock motor is amazing........

wow.. i appreciate you putting in the HP increments with the milestone mods you did 
kind of an ignorant question but how did the A/T hold up during point 3 when you had turbo installed?
