what s400 is it? I would say you need more fuel but really you need a top charger to make a set of compounds. I only made 40 psi out of my 475 with my lightning III injectors and 85 psi overall

It's there pn 411102 says it's good to 850hp 198ex housing I'm having a s300 built now to put with it I'm looking at soure auto for piping that I can buy and finish myself I think that's about the cheapest way to get the piping. I just thought that thing would make more boost by it's self

Cheapest way is to buy exhaust pipe in 45's and 90's and do it yourself. That's what I did.

i'm running a S474/74/.90T4 as a single and i'm seeing a max of 48psi on a hard launch and 42-45 on the street and thats with the largest scheid cam i could run on stock pistons....but the truck is ppumped with 7x12 injectors

imo to street a S400 as a single a cam is a must
