After doing a bit of reasearch and talking to Julien at Alpine motorsports I found out that this is a bigger kit than I was told, it is a 16 too 24 pound set up running around 380 or 390 on race gas at 24 pounds of boost. I ran it at 18 pounds the first too days and now know why I couldn't get it lower than 16 pounds. Not sure what horsepower it run at 16 pounds but I assure you it's lots.Was very impressed with the time Julien took to explain too me as much as he could with the info I gave him.looks like I'm stuck buying race gas haha.

It is easy to get the boost down. If it is a headshim motor then no reason you couldn't run straight pump at 13-15 lbs. just have to clutch it accordingly.
