Originally posted by RCJr9186 well i saw an SRT4 on streetfire pushin 402whp with a gt30r at 19psi... so i'm hopeful... if not, i can either just boost it a lil more than planned... or get a gt35r with a 35shot around 3500 and i'll be good to go.... OR get a 20G from hahn and be good to go. many options.
What you have to remember is that srt-4's were built for boost. If I'm not mistaken 19psi for an srt-4 is not much over stock. They probably got the elevated numbers from the more efficient turbo, and supporting mods. You'll have to work a lot harder to reach 400whp. Only a handful of ppl around here have achieved those numbers. Good luck to you and as said before Megasquirt is your best option. More complicated ...but once you are past that you are golden. Hind sight being 20/20 I think anyone here that is running a MS wishes they wouldn't have wasted money on any other engine management. For a complete novice though I would recommend an EIC, Hanh’s portfueler is a good choice for someone that can't or doesn't have the time fabricate, and has money to burn.
