with a 42/48 YOU WILL NEED 12 PSI to make any kind of halfway descent power.

im sure i can arrange a nice hmt ne install for you.,

every car we put together runs ------- hard.

even ------ bermanators car.

we are how do u say, the closest thing to a backwoods ghetto operformace shop youll find. me and dave will discuss this situation if u are intersted

Ive been running 10 psi on my d16z6 with uberdata and it handles it great. Make sure u go with uberdata or chrome, a good fuel managment system, im also running a oil catch can as well. with 2 step colder spark plugs and 91 octane gas

That's great news to hear about everyone's success with the D. I'm hoping to get this goin asap, I'm just amassing parts right now for it. Still lookin to get quite a bit as of now but if anyone has some of the stuff or know's where I can get it cheap that will just help it go along even that much more quicker, I still need a Mani setup, chargepiping, Intercooler, oil lines and a BOV and at the end of this week will have about $350 for it. HotRex, I'll let you guy's know about that, not sure as of now. However I live in Buffalo N.Y. and have been thinking for a LONG time now how cool it would be to get a HMT thing goin on in this area if enough guys were interested. I just noticed as well in a recent post about how BMC Race was mentioning a buddy's car that they are gettin 250whp on a Stock Z6 from what he said at 15psi. That's nuts! When you guys run Uberdata to tune do you also then use your Eprom burner to burn the new tune for the ecu or do you guys not have a burner? (I ask because I don't have the $$$ for a dyno tune even though I know that's the most reliable, but I may be able to scrounge around like 80-100$ for a cable and burner if that works good enough to street tune it) Keep those personal setup experiences coming, along with what you guys have found beneficial.. ie. colder plugs etc.

None of what you just posted makes any sense at all.
damn I gotta check my old post sooner ...

but hang out around the forums some more time and you'll see what I was talking about ... hopefuly
