Do not bring it on boost, detonation can kill a motor in seconds, in worst case scenarios. Definitely don't floor it. List all non stock parts for a more detailed response. Obviously with a compression change timing will vary greatly. Fuel needs will likely also need addressing. Tell us your general area and a more seasoned member will direct you to a decent tuner.

Take it to RDP or profile autosports, tell them what you've done and that you just want to make it live so they can tune it accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
