Finally broke 200 (hp)
Got the 2.3 turbo back on the dyno today and turned the boost up to 10psi. At 8/9psi it made 199hp and 208ft/lbs. At 10psi gained 12hp and 20ft/lbs. I hadnt really been driving over 7psi, 10 is a huge difference. They also told me with my tune and setup I can drive pretty safely at 8psi and run 10 at the track/racing. Hopefully I'll get to the track on friday.
Very nice man!

with I/H/E you'll probably make it up to 170 MAX, and that's in some COLD ass weather,

if you figure in a ~15% drivetrain loss, that means im pushin in the 240s to the crank.
thanks for the compliments
track is looking quite likely for tomorrow
