Both are new but th cat is easier to fix. $$$$$$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad for a historically low reading dyno,said he could have easily pushed it up over 350-400 but recomended getting some forged internals first. Time to start putting money back in the piggy bank.

May need oil pump gears but there is a debate about that at the moment. Seems very low for 14psi as well. Let us know how it drives now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just seems exceptionally low even for a hard dyno. You should definitely pump more boost into it though. The engine will love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
