Yes, you are. Our friend, Spillman, is exploring the limits for us.

And, if I'm reading it right, he's quite pleased with his rig. It might not be for everybody, but you gotta admire him for being brave enough to pursue his goals.

Heck, I can't get my 19% to run right.

MTH software
380cc injectors
Denso Ik22 plugs

is there much else i should include to accomdoate for the 19% pulley? Pls let me know if i missed out on something else

Thanks in advance
Looks like you got it covered. GIAC software might offer better performance. But MTH will calm down the DSC. And a larger TMIC is an option.

I really would recommend the GIAC for your list of mods, skuzy. The GIAC for the 19% was specifically tuned to the 19% pulley, the 380cc injectors and the octane level available in your area (91 or 93). The mth software is basically tweaked by theory, not practice. So his adjustments for your potential upgrades are theoretical - he has not run dyno after dyno and datalog after datalog with those mods like GIAC has.

Yes that is correct. I am running what translates to a 23% reduction and let me tell you.. it is fun. Well besides the fact of very quick belt wear. I just went threw a belt in about 2k. I do push the car all the time though and am at the drag strip regularly.

Injectors are deffinately a very good idea if not a neccesity. After the injectors put an intercooler on that baby and you will be amazed at the hot and cold performance.
