Don't take any notice of Dave, he's just go no class that's all.

347bhp from that spec, using those injectors can't be correct. You'd have ran out of the fuel capability of the injectors long before 347bhp. Not wanting to make you feel bad, but I would be about 99.0% correct if I said that those rollers ain't reading correctly.

To make a given bhp, with a given spec, it's not hard to work out how much air and fuel the engine needs to consume to produce a given bhp. And to produce 350bhp, your engine would need to consume more fuel than your injectors are capable of producing, so it's not hard to work out that your spec is not capable of producing a true 350bhp.

With the spec you suggest, and the boost your using, I would expect you to produce between 320 - 330 bhp. and would not run more than a constant boost pressure of 25psi (absolute max). But don't just go and wind on the actuator arm to produce more boost, without first getting someone to check that the car is mapped with the correct fuelling. Some people think that because they are using certain injectors that have the capability to produce ???.... That they can just wind up the boost....WRONG. The injectors will only produce what the ecu map tells them too, and if the map isn't set up with that in mind, then it will all end in

As for DAVECOS : Bring it on baby, my Sapphire will kick your arse big style.
