To update this I am still getting a fuel leak on start up but not when the pump primes I think this is due to the fact that my injectors are LS1 style and my intake manifold needs a LS2 style Oring. If this happens you need a special Oring that has a inner diameter for LS1 but also has the bigger outer diameter for the LS2 style size. PM or Email me for questions. (Turned out I didn't have LS1 style injectors and got 1986-1998 Mustang injectors)

Got the fuel leak figured out and cut my fuel rail mounts to be able to access the intake manifold bolts. Getting the exhaust done this week and then off to the dyno to get it's final tune and I will post the dyno numbers once done.

I wasn't really shooting for anything because I didn't know what springs I had when I bought the kit from the member on here and he ghosted me after he got his money so I had no idea. I wanted 500-550 so on 8psi with 460 I would say I am satisfied for now. There are some maintenance things I have to do with the truck still but after everything is done and I am comfortable with the power I want my 5XXhp truck. Probably will turn it up to 10 or 12psi and call it good.

I should say on this dyno sheet one run was done with my 3" cut out open and one run was done with it closed run 8 and 9 respectively

did the tuner day any thing was wrong like need more injector or something?

im not trying to be rude or knock your setup when i say i would not be happy at 460/480 im sure there is more power in that setup and it needs to be dialed in i bet theres 100 or more HP there someplace

i think there is a lot more in that setup, maybe your tuner is keeping it really safe? dont get me wrong your making some good power but if i turbo something i want 550+ at the wheels maybe 10/12lbs will do it for you

my sons truck is a stock'ish lq4 and its a really fun truck putting down 340/380 i think it was so i imagine yours feels pretty good at 460 with over 100 more HP that should put you deep in the 12's with traction
