    That's a bit out of context. You were told/advised you're not going to get 400whp with your setup and that you'd need a good deal "more" to reach your target.

    2.5 pulley here at mostly ~1100 feet with about 8-9lbs at that elevation... but go up anywhere between 4-8k pretty regularly.

    depends on your elevation as well. I definitely felt the change from picking up the Taco in Seattle to arriving in Colorado.

    Not surprising that the switch to E85 made him close to 70 HP. That is right in line with the majority of gains on most boosted applications. I can only imagine how much of a kick in the ass that feels like on the Tacoma when you smash the go pedal. Lol.

    Sad, but true. :mad:

    Depends on that ELEVATION variable.

    I remain happy with a 2.5" RIP-modded pulley on a Qwikchange Hub, supported by @Roostfactor's Pulley Wrap Mod, that produces peak boost of ~6-7 psi at ~6K-7K ft.
