Just need to buy a flash box from C&V next pay day. I have money put away for the tune.02 baxr6t, rapid cooler & CAI, high flow cat minus center muffler, siemens injectors & valve springs.I have been researching the T's for ages now and always had my mind set on the magical figure of 300RWKW. I'm not really sure why, just always wanted to have that power figure.Spoke to a workshop last week where I'm looking at getting the car custom tuned and they recommend tuning the car to 260RWKW. This saving the transmission from blowing up.The workshop said that there is not much of a difference b/w 260 and 300 at the wheels, and if I want to get 300RWKW I will need to upgrade the dump pipe and get a cam.I know from you guys and this forum that this is not the case....The workshop I went to wants to custom tune it to 10PSI and says that any more would result in too high temps in the cylinders and more trouble for me.. Quote for the tune was b/w $700 & $900.BTW this is a reputable well known workshop and I am not trying to put them down in any way, just want some opinions and advice. QUESTIONS!!Do you guys agree with the 260RWKW for saving the Tranny? (4spd auto) I plan to fit a trans cooler to it anyway..Can anyone recommend a workshop in the western suburbs of Melbourne to do a custom tune for what I am after?I plan on fitting the CAI, I/C and exhaust myself and getting the workshop to fit the injectors and custom tune. Any ideas on a ball park figure?Ive made a post in another section about the valve springs so I wont even go there.Thanks for reading this long winded speel, but I'm pretty excited about finally modding the stock T, and I want to get it all done the right way.

Mine is silhouette too, should get some pics of them together once it's done.Where is Nizpro in Melbourne?If you were running 15psi, wouldn't that push you over 300 easily? The tuner I spoke to said he could get 260 on 10psi...What is your sig referring to 450rwkw, that's confusing me...How mush RWKW are you running right now and are you happy with it?
