400 Hp

This may have been covered but here is my question:


If you had 2,000 bucks (which I do) what would you do to a Sky redline to improve not only HP but also performance? Can I get to 400 HP with 2 grand?

Short answer is right now no ... computer will hold you back and no one has it fully cracked right now.

For $2000, I'd start with an exhaust, downpipe and IC upgrade. Just that could quite easily get you over budget.

BSR Tune $1000 will get you over 300+ bhp I believe... Gains 43 HP to the wheels

So if your trying to prioritize your spending then do the wastegate mod first, cost $0. Second a better intercooler, I like the one from Dejon. Next the exhaust, lots of choices there now. Last pipes under the hood including the intake. But your still not gonna hit 400 how ever it is measured till the ECU is fully cracked.

I'd purchase this.. Only In your Dreams - Debbie Gibson CD

Then get a WB02, exhaust and tuning software. (once it supports the RL)

I still can't figure out how to get my DashHawk to display the AFR to say 12:1 or 14:1. I can only see what it commands and it'll read .99 or something like that.

Under the fuel section you have wb afr 1, assuming you version 2 of the dashhawk and the latest firmware.
