Afshin you will really enjoy the experience and I'm sure if you make it to SITM you will get a chance at it.
I love it. 4000 miles in a newly SC'd 928. Gets home last night and today is putting a RMB on it for even more power. You have a nice stable going there Shane...you need a lift in that "hanger" Glad you made it home uneventfully

Glad you made it home safely. More importantly that you had fun on your road trip home.

So let's see, 4,000 @ 19mpg = 210.5 gallons of fuel @ ~ $3.79/gal = $800 gas.

So, you have the '86 center mufflers still on there?
I was waiting to hear whether there was a distinction to be made between center and rear mufflers with respect to backpressure.
I had a Euro-spec rear muffler on my 83 for a while,they are supposed to have a different tone, I wonder whether they have any less b/p.
I have a muffler bypass on hand, but I'm pretty happy with the tone and loudness of the current system...

If the RMB even frees up half of the 7 psi back pressure we measured you will see a 30HP gain.

You need raise your fuel pressure up to at least S4 spec because we were maxing out those 42lb injectors already.

You can use the SharkTuner to adjust the injector size if needed and the rest of the fuel tables should be pretty close. You might have to reduce the last cell in the WOT map because we were asking for more fuel there than we could get at the time. Should be close though.

Hate to press the issue for you, but you REALLY need to do it. Whole new car when you do. So stop procrastinating.
