Isn't the answer just MORE :)
550hp under boost, you should be close to that
by now. I would say if it wasn't
at altitude and likely hot a nice stroker
motor and a carb on pump gas can work
those numbers these days ;). Low
tensions rings and a vacuum pump should be the
next thing you try (Hint at
what I'm going to try next).

About 550 hp. Been having boost
issue apparently becaus erecorded boost is way
low. Have been running up
against aero wall with the power I have been making.
Changed some of that
this year so should make the power (said with fingers
crossed).
