also any thoughts on that intake manifold i found??? is it worth it?
I'm running 10.2:1 compression w/almost 1 bar of boost (13-14psi) runs like a champ. Bone stock and it's making about 280whp.
Don't run more octane then you need, running 98 octane isn't going to be required for your set-up. If your only looking for about 300hp then 92 octane will be more then enough.
