not kidding. 1 WOT pull at 8psi with stock injectors and a 14.7 AFR will blow your motor

i've been driving untuned for 6 months at 5psi and 14.7-15.2 AFR , stock injectors, no intercooler, no problems... yet. but i never rev over 3.5 grand. Don't boost much... maybe once in awhile, gas prices are too high. Should be getting tuned very soon just waiting for someone to do custom intercooler pipings but i've been getting ridiculous prices just for the piping.

a while ago, a guy blew his engine when he tried to drive 30 minutes to his tuner right after he installed a greddy turbo kit.

you decide, which is cheaper, a tow truck to your tuner, or a new engine.
