    Thanks Josh. O by the way doesn't your GSR make like 400whp on 11psi of boost. Is that because it is 10:1 compression? Didn't you make like 460whp on 15psi and pump gas no problem? Most of the time a 9:1 motor takes about 18-20psi to make same power. That means more lag time. Also means when you are not in boost (85% time your driving) you have a pretty responsive motor.

    So yes if you want to run crazy high boost then that is a different story, BUT if you read the first post he said 300whp. But then again Miller's 8sec honda is over 12:1 and 50psi.
