something i've found interesting is that fuel wasn't addressed, in regards to upgraded fuel injectors. For a long time we have been told that the stock fuel injectors are only capable of providing a sufficient amount to sustain about 250 hp. I suppose this newly tuned eg33, disproves that theory....any thoughts?

Only the maf is limited to 250hp. The injectors according to LAN have "a little more headroom". The problem with using stock injectors with this kind of power is they are probably being stressed and working at capacity for great durations of time.

Now that begs the question what MAF are they using?

they aren't using a MAF. They are using a MAP based stand alone system

Too bad subaru didn't make and 8 cylinder. I wonder what Mike's heads and cams would do on a stock bottom end? This is where the 370 stock nissan 300 zx turbo injectors might be useful. Might even get away with the 5 speed trans with this setup. We really haven't seen where the power starts dropping.

a N/A build is the next thing on the list. I want to push the stage 3 as far as I can and keep it a daily driver (it wont be daily driven, but COULD be is what I mean) Then I want a N/A 5spd monster in another SVX...

hmmm

Coming from the enginering illiterate side of the forum here.....WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT!?!?!?!

Is this for real? what kind of whp at what kind of $$ value are we talking, and has this person been proven yet? Is it even logicly feasible? Can it be used WITH stage 3? I never know how this performance stuff goes....its scary getting into it b/c you dont want to start down one path, to find out that the upgrades you made were not the most optimal bang for buck and reliability...or sometimes a complete loss b/c it wont work with the set up you want.

I am sure the car has a VERY rough idle with those cams and valves BUt it would work with anything you wanted to throw at it. I have been in contact with the builder and he is not bull****ting, With better tuning I see no issue with him pulling 300whp.... Thats more than my stage 3 can do.... So much for professional tuning huh??
