But Renntech Stage 1 puts you at 394hp. Plus Erick has the Plugs, Wires and Intake on his car.

Want to hear something funnier? My car has ASP pulleys,
software, Magnecor Wires, IK20's, K&N filters & I make
295rwhp & 309rwtq which equates to 357HP & 374TQ

There's one particular car that really has my attention, he has
his C32 in a drifting stance in his signature, makes 317rwhp &
327rwtq on ASP pullies and Renntech software, I forgot his
screen name for the moment, it's too early for me to be thinking
in the morning.

that doesn't sound too good...
I guess you'll be on the list for a LET pulley if it makes the right numbers.

Humm? Larger, better designed, and lighter pulley for $100 more than ASP and $400 less than Renntech.

Sounds fair to me! I gladly paid the $$$ for it.

The highest I made with Renntech Stage I was 334Whp. Stage II was 362Whp.

I hate to say it, but it looks like you are having the same issue as me. Take a look at your graph from Lujan. At 4800 RPM you can see that the car is holding power back.

Not yet or really, just yet. I have to meet up with (2) C32
members here in South FL with Renntech C32's. I want to see
the data log my CarChip Pro to scan it. Jerry said my car makes
more boost than his with the LET pulley kit, so I want to see
that first hand and then I'll go from there.

Honson? Donn? Where are you guys?

I took a look at the graphs you sent me again.

At 4400 RPM something happened and your car continues to pull power to red line. I bet your car is pulling timing to the tune of -21 to -30.

We both have the IK-20 plugs, magnecor wires, and Renntech tuning.

What did you use to make those PDF files? All I can do for now are screen
shots.

I have acrobat pro installed. All I have to do is go to file-print and choose the acrobat PDF printer.

Update

I took my car to P&L Motorsports for another leak down test. Before they even did the test, they called my to tell me that my spark plugs are gapped beyond their measuring tool. That means that my plugs were gapped above 45. There were detonation marks on them so I decided to run to autozone and they happen to have 12 IK-20's in stock.

P&L regapped the plugs to 32 and the car runs much better. The shift from 1st to 2nd is very noticeable now.

The leak down test results were:

155 PSI across the board on the left bank.
165 PSI across the board on the right bank.

Less than 10% leakage across the board.

These numbers are perfect...which kind of makes me mad. This means that we have to look elsewhere.

Erick and I both have Dyno appts on Friday, so expect graphs then.

I thought our plugs were pre-gapped from the factory?
I just installed my IK20s and just hand tightened them, then did a 1/2 turn with the wrench.

They usually are. But always check them for accuracy before you put them in. I often find a few that need to be adjusted.

I had two dyno appointments today.

The first one got cancelled due to the dyno being flooded by all the rain we had yesterday.

My next appt is at noon.
