stock fuel rails, and a walbro 450 in the stock colorado tank.

was running on a P01 ECU with a 02 silverado flex fuel OS in it, and a regular GM flex sensor.

currently swapped to P59 with 3bar and Flex OS on it right now

as of the day of this update 7.30.17 the truck has made 521whp on 14psi clearing the budget 500whp goal

i have pushed to 660+whp but it currently doesnt have the fuel system to sustain that kind of power

i have left it at 550whp on 15psi and 70% content maxing out injectors and pump

for march i installed a 2nd 450 in the tank, and installed bosch 210lb injectors, pushed up on boost a little and ended up with 650whp

but my converter is struggling with the power, so until the converter is upgraded itll be around there, BUT! i recently tuned a car that is a copy of mine

with a better converter and better motor and i easily made 821whp on e85, here are the details of that build

here is the update for the colorado on the dyno with 650+whp

here is a full swing of power capability from 6-20psi so far unlocked, pretty impressive
