Thanks Allot!!

Slap on an adjustable fuel reg and up the size on the injectors. slap a 255lph in the tank. Get a chip and a tune at a Shop (my buddy has kinda the set up u have, went to Arlie,CDT in hayward made over 400hp. Get some M/t Sticky's in the back. driving skills +. My buddys use to do the same, that bogging shit like not enough fuel. Went to get it tuned and WALAH! No more of that ohh yeah, before you even try to launch with some sticky's Throw that Stock clutch out get your self a spec or centerforce asap bud. YOur times will def improve

I just did whole bunch of work to my car as well. and the computer is tweakin' Its not accepting the program that was designed for all the add on parts.
as a result I have to go back to the dealer where I bought the car and see if I need a new computer or just reflash it.

Are you getting traction? Do you have a boost guage? Are you actaully seeing 6lbs of boost?

Your injectors are definitely too small for your combo.

The injectors are fine if the fuel pressure, pump size, and a FMU is used. From what you've posted, the belt slip could be the main cause. As for a chip, I don't see it solving your problems. Get the mechanical problems sorted out first.

wouldnt the 24lbers be maxing out right when the boost comes on? and run lean all throughout the rest of the powerband?

Hense the "FMU".

A MSD is nice, but not needed. Run 3924's gapped at .035. It's only 6psi folks, not 10. This could be something as simple as the wrong plugs (read:stock) gapped at .054.

ya ya ya, get an msd anyway, you'll get used to 6 and want 10... then 14...

What is your MPH at the end of the run??????

What MAF are you running in support of your 24lb injectors?

Losing power at 6000rpm is probably normal in your case since your only running a E303. If you mean that it was cutting out perhaps you are getting spark blowout at high rpm. This is where I see an aftermarket coil/ignition would come into play. Don't be suprised at the lack of performance. You can have all the great pieces put on the car, but if the combo is wrong you will still get lackluster-ass performance.

To be honest..if I were you...I would not run the car hard until you get the correct pieces in place. Going lean(not enough fuel volume/quality) can melt a piston fast! As a final step go for a chip/tweecer/pms to make it safe.
