If it makes you feel any better, I'm pretty content with 8 psi on my GSR. I had it at 10 for a couple days and it was honestly insane but I feel better driving around at 8. Maybe I'm crazy. I don't drag race so it's a lot easier to be content with a "moderate" amount of power. The only thing I'd like now is a standalone for better tuning. It would be "NICE" to have a built block so I can boost like crazy but I don't feel like I NEED it now.

That's what I did. After I couldn't find a TT in time, I just went the easy way. No more 200+whp to one wheel
Whats funner to drive? A turbo honda or WRX?
I just thought of somthine. How do they dyno w AWD car?

There are a few ways to dyno an AWD car...an AWD dyno (tehre are more out there than you think), Dynapacks or use a FWD dyno and replace the center differential with a welded one (I think a welded one) so only the front wheels get power. Later!
