Then if this is your goal, stick with what you have. All of the major suppliers of FI units go to great lengths to design and market a system that will deliver optimal power and still survive the test of time.

If you poke around here some, you'll see that all of the suppliers of basic FI systems produce around 550 rwhp with their canned tunes. There is a reason for that. The conclusion I draw is that all suppliers come up against the limitation of the fuel delivery variances and warranty.

Another factor is engine life is compromised inversely with increases in power levels. It is know that somewhere around 650 rwhp the rings can seize on some engines (again, results vary) if full power is applied for a long duration, i.e., road racing.

Not trying to sound too negative, but your Procharger system is about as reliable as you can get as is. Not much you can add to it to increase reliability. Give the guys at Procharger a call and talk to them first if your looking for increased reliability and a little more power.
