Well what sort of tuning issues are you having ?
are you using LS1 edit to do the tuning to it ?
still have the whipple computer running with it ?
have you Atap'd it to see what's going on inside ?
The consideration with runnin 9psi on a whipple i would think would be heat generated from the twin screw. Have you consider water alcohol injection to go along with the extra boost

screwed, i have lots of questions for you

so you are running aporoxamately 98octane for 9psi? how well does that work? have you watched for knock retard? did you drive it everyday? ever drive it when it was hot(95-100deg) outside with that setup?

if i ever get this thing all dialed in at 6psi and then need more i was thinking about trying the paint thinner route or racing gas and 9psi. i have been told you can get xylene(117 octane) for about $4/gallon, add 5gallons of that to 15 gallons of 92 and lookout, another 60hp. is it that easy?
