Default Just got back from tuning at Church Automotive

The car dynoed at 208HP and 178.4 lbs of torque. The boost is only at 7PSI and I still have 310cc injectors, and a fully stock exhaust from the downpipe back. He says get 550cc injectors and 2.5" or bigger exhaust and I'll hit 250. Thinks if I get that done and go to 10psi I can hit 300. Car runs great though, even got a speeding ticket on the way home.
Shawn's a great guy though, gave me lots of info, definitely a cool experience. I'd post the sheet, but have no idea how.

Sorry to hear about the speeding ticket. You were probably havin' some fun on the way back.

I talked to Shawn earlier and he told me your injectors were maxing out. You should get an exhaust and ditch the cat for sure. If you could do the downpipe that would help as well but not that big of a deal. However, I don't think you're going to hit 300hp with the Greddy kit at 10psi. At least not on a GSR.

Congrats on the tune. Glad your day went better than mine....

If you had injectors + exhaust, your dumb *** wouldn't have a speeding ticket.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I already have a bigger downpipe, I'm stock from the cat back. From what I was seeing and from how the turbo sounded, theres alot more to be had from just getting an exhaust and injectors. I can't even rev 4th and 5th out because it gets lean due to the injectors. The new exhaust will lean me out so bad I have to get injectors put in the same day.
I know for sure I'll crack 250 when I go back. I have a P28 so my manifold is stuck open right now, so I now when I get a new IM that'll add to the hopefully 250hp. Then from there I turn up the boost to 10lbs, and I'll be knocking on 300hp's door for sure.
As for the speeding ticket I just didn't care, I was coming around this beautiful sweeping curve that kicks you onto this long down hill straight away. I saw the cop, but I really wanted to know how fast I could get the car going down that hill. I even saw him down there, I was locked on to at 98mph on top of the hill, and 97mph at the bottom.
I can go to traffic school and it won't go on my record (done it before), and I've drank away more money in a night than that ticket will cost. I'm not from up there, so who knows when I'd see that curve again, so it was way more than worth it.
Told the cop I was in a rush because I had Padres tix, and so he only wrote me up for 70mph, so a harmless ticket. Didn't stop my ear to ear grin.
