Yeah..that's where its going to end if I'm not careful. But would an additional
injector help? One that gets activated at certain boost or rpm. I don't know
if that's been done before.

Hey...What do yo all think? Is it possible? Dangerous?

is using a computer to monitor the driving condition...maybe it can be
fool into making it happen lower down the rev range.
