    How much boost is that? 10 lbs?

    Also, how much timing is he running?

    For a VS i'd try a 3.4 or 3.5.

    to run a 3.4 you need 42.5 injectors or bigger, and a rewire.

    you didnt run out of injector but your were running over 100percent IDC. Which isnt a great idea.

    IPW is not IDC.

    85% IDC or higher is unideal.

    never said you cant.

    I just know 85% IDC is bad.

    Couldnt tell you what that would be in IPW.

    why is 85% bad?

    i figured anything lower than 100% was fine, which 19 IPWs at 6000 RPM are.

    IDC's are hard to go off of too. There have been guys to show 120% IDC on there logs on a DSM or a 3000GT/Stealth. Obviously you can't go over 100% so most people try to keep it around 80-85%

    unless i see knock and the car starting to run lean up top, then i would never swap injectors. this is why EVERYONE needs to run a wideband on any car they want to make power with.

    Definitely agree with the wideband.

    Had I been running one earlier in my ownership I'd likely still have my modded TSi Talon.

    Running lean at 6000 rpm and 125 mph makes for bad things to happen to pistons and rings.
