I think the problem is your intercooler. I could have gotten a bit more, if I had some other intercooler, I have the greddy, and the hot side pipe, is just tiny, other kits, most of them, have a bigger pipe, and work better.

That's your problem right there. Stock TMIC will heat soak quick, causing the car to pull timing and most likely boost in order to prevent detonation. I raced a guy in Boca Raton with a vf22 and stock TMIC. The first race was close, but after several runs, he was loosing power and I was pulling him pretty hard.

Don't necessarily need a FMIC to get there. I'm putting down 298whp with a MRT TMIC and vf22. But, If you have the cash, go FMIC.

You can find good, used aftermarket TMIC's on NASIOC.com for around $400-$500

It's an hourly Dyno charge since I already paid for ECUtek. I think Mastro charges around $180/hr. for their Dyno. Could be more or less, just give them a call. Ask for Will in service.

CFT charged me $350 for a complete tune, it took about 4 hours, but I was having some problems, leaks and such, they fixed everything and didn't charge anything more.
