I just got home from school and wanna start to get working on my car again...but I have no idea what to do.

Heres what I have and what I want, and you give me your opinions.

Setup:

F-MAX turbo kit
T04B/T3 Comp: S-3 Turb: stage 2 .48a/r
Fuel: Dyno and WBO2 tuned MF2
Spark: BTM set to .5 deg.
ACT clutch
3" exhaust
Dyno graph at 6psi and 9psi

Alright, heres my dilema. I'm not sure what I want to do. I want more power, but I'm not sure how and where. As you can see from the dyno my top end is seriously lacking...but my low-midrange is soo sweet.

I was thinking of going to a .63 a/r turbine housing to open up the top end.....but I love hitting full boost by 2600rpm, it makes the twisties and town driving so much fun. Was thinking of adding a skunk2 intake manifold...but I'm not sure how much that'll even help.

I was also seriously thinking of finally going to Hondata. Heres my problem with that. It'll cost me around 1300 in the end from the hondata, to the ecu, injectors and tuning. As of now my car runs PERFECTLY with the MF2. The only reason I can see to go to hondata is better tuning for more power patential and it would be safer (fuel distribution) if I wanna boost more....but I'm already at 9psi...12psi would be kinda pushing it on a stock motor. Would it be worth it when it runs perfect now? Smooth boost transition, no hesitation, stock off boost map.

Or maybe just say **** power and get a LSD.....damn I'm confused

So thats my dilema...Sorry that this turning into me ranting, but I just can't make up my mind.

lol i say step up to the bigger turbo like t3/t04e .63/.57

 

Hondata.
10-11 psi.
Same Turbo.
LSD.

That would kick ****.

I have t25 turbo on my Ls and I want to change this turbo soon....t3/t4e is a good choice for 10-15 psi street car ?

 

I think I'm gunna stick w/ my turbo and go hondata...any other opinions?
