He only has catted dp as a real Power mod so he has a lot more left in it if he adds a few more parts

I talked to Mike about injectors, he said not to bother for now.
My goal was throttle response and powerband, not peak HP.

Ultimately I decided that I needed to trust my tuner, and I'm happy with my choice. Mike says there's more there in the setup if I run better fuel, but I'm not interested in being dependent on something I can't get everywhere.

The Fuel Pump is already done. Down the line, if I get the more-power-bug I can always swap injectors and probably pickup more.

We weren't talking about injectors for more power necessarily, we were curious to what the IDC's were with the stock 565cc injectors running a 16G because they are so close in size to VF's.

This is not a power bragging thread. He's just posting numbers. If they seem low it's probably tuner related or the customers choice if he wants to play safe or not. If it's not built than he's playing safe both customer and tuner..

Diggin the td04 spool with the vf top end great choice for the scooby

You guys should understand. An Auto-X motor is more about power NOW than peak numbers.
Turbo Lag is the enemy
