Is this about the most hp I'll get with my current set up? I thought about getting smokeshow as well, but it probably won't smoke that much without bigger injectors, turbo or hpop. Thanks in advance for any replies.
Thanks for the kind words, CJ.

You're right about 80 HP being about tops. Also, the SmokeShow calibration won't do much for you either.

Your injectors are actually the limiting factor right now. The stock turbocharger can handle a bit more fuel than stock but down the line, the compressor will eventually be holding you back.

The nice thing about having the 3" downpipe and 90cc injectors is that you can pretty much do anything you want in your highest HP setting and never have to worry about EGT.
