what a 150 more HP looks like

You never ever want to run 1100psi.Way to much pressure drop and its hard on noids,and hard to maintain that heat in the bottle,all results in a very lazy tune on the big end and very inconsistant.And i bet ya i canmake the same power at 900 as 1100 but safer and more consistant.

well i leaned something new. If it drops to 600 will it show it in my line gauge? If so, im gonna look next time.

It should,i would say if your tuning it for 1100 psi its going to go fat,i would bet your pressure drop would be about 300 to 400 lbs..Thats no good.And again its so hard on the plungers of the noids.

well i didnt have a pressure gauge when it was tuned. My tuner heated the bottle to a certain temp. I need to have it retuned for a certain psi. I guess tune it at 900 psi.

You need to locate a new tuner,because if your tuner tuned your car not knowing your bottle pressure your asking for problems.

he left that up to me. He did an na tune first. Then he said hed rather tune it with a gauge and it would be more accurate. That was my mistake. At that time. It was on the dyno. And i didnt have money for a gauge. I didnt know i needed a gauge for tuning. Hes the best around. Had to drive pver an hour to get to him.

Well i know for a fact i wouldnt tune a car on the bottle without a temp gun or a bottle gauge.Its not worth blown a motor up imo.
