No problem, no such thing as too many questions, always ask until you understand. What I meant is in a social sertting like having a beer with firends and one comes back to say they just took a messy dump, that's too much information. A car running boost isn't a social setting its a machine running hard and its best to know what the parameters are like boost and fuel pressure, temp, oil pressure, etc. The more info you have available the better and more safely you can run it. On a stock bottom end, 10 psi is about the highest you should go, but without a boost gauge you have no way of knowing what psi you're making. A lean fuel mix or low pressure can be disastrous and destroy an engine in an instant, if you have a fuel pressure gauge you can see what you have and if it gets low shut it down rather than blow it up. Sorry if you thought I was being a d**k, not my intent, we're all here to help each other and have a good time, good luck with the car, get a dyno tune asap, and a good set of gauges, I prefer autometer, but there are a few that are good, you get what you pay for, stay away from stuff like sunpro and other cheap ones.

Your good man as soon as I get my Dyno guy on the phone next week I will see what his prices are and I will tell him that I want to do gears and exhaust eventually then I will try to get a dyno day set up. I will keep you all posted.

He charged around $500 if i remember right. I think it cost a little more if your supercharged thats why it seems high and it takes a couple hour to properly tune. You should be around the 400rwhp mark, but exhaust will help you get there pretty quick with your F/I.

I have long tube headers a high flow catted h pipe but I think stock mufflers because my car sounds pretty stock I also have an 99 or 01 cobra hood I think who ever built my car wanted to make it a sleeper. Anyway I called TruDynoSports.com and I made an appointment for him to look at my car on the 15th at 6:00pm. Also is there anyway to tell if I already have a chip and just need it reflashed thanks again you guys are great.

Yeah you can spot a chip pretty easily. Just remove the kick panel from the passenger side. The ECU is mounted in there. If there's anything except aluminum on the ouside of the case, then you've got a chip.
