Kleeman does seem to have a good tune though, no doubt.

Unless you running big boost you don't need to change your injectors. Kleemann, probably R/T and many more tuners will tell you the same. It's been proven for many years.

I'm running 14psi and my injectors were at 100% duty cycle from 5,500rpm to redline. I have the datalogs to put everyone's "theories" to rest. I never broke my engine running it like this, but it doesn't mean it's "safe".

May just be your car. 55k is now 7 or 8 years old, cars have run 100k miles with full bolt on's and god knows how many with stage1-2.

/\ As long as your tune is spot on, no reason why doing a top speed run would cause your engine to blow IMO.

Went to the track at the weekend, car went 11.54 @120 with 1.7 60. Is this as quick/fast as its going to run with 168mm pulley? There was a 25mph mind.. Just that some guys on here run close/over 130, just can't see how I'm gonna get close to that!?
