damn, thanks for all the replies...

I would like to clear some things up. The list of mods was cut and pasted from my cardomain site since that was the first place I posted my car online. The reason why I have JG engine dynamics and Comptech listed is because this motor was rebuilt twice. The first rebuild was by JG and after about 2k miles I had coolant leaking into the cylinders. Turns out the iron sleeves moved causing a gap in the head gasket. They didn't want to deal with me so I took my business to Comptech. I've heard other bad things about JG so I guess I'm just another victim.

I have under 3k miles on this new Comptech rebuild and so far so good. I just installed the Hondata S100, but it's not tuned yet. So I have no HP #'s or track #'s... yet

As for the injectors, I used a formula on RC's webpage to figure out the size I need. Based on my hp goal of around 400whp @ about 15psi, they say I should use 730cc. The closest to that size from Delphi was 780cc. Right now I still have the stock injectors in the car with the Hondata bypassed, only until I get base maps ROM chip from my tuner (hopefully by next week).

So you guys think the Profec B boost controller is that way to go? I'm running out of money fast, but I'm sooo close. I hear a lot that my delta wastegate is crap so thats why I'm going to upgrade to the Tial wastegate before I get tuned. My tuner is about a 5-6 hour ride from me. He was highly recommended to me as the "best around" and I know that tuning is EVERYTHING. This is why I'm nervous that I will be missing something when I take that trip.

Thanks for all your input, and I will be sure to post numbers as soon as it's tuned (hopefully by the end of this month).

This post presents some peoples opinions of the drag manifold, I think it might stifle your efforts to get those boost figures you have planned for, and deserver.

Good luck, (like with a built car like that you even need it, heh)
