No offense Remmy, but that's a rather ignorant statement.

First of all, you're on a Greddy kit with a Bseries and S20 trans, of course you're not going to fall out of boost between shifts. You spool early and you have much tighter gear ratios than a stock Dseries.

Second of all, when you full spool at 5000 in 4th gear you will fall out of boost with a stock Dseries transmission and 7200 redline. Simple gearing dynamics, the car will fall to 4500rpms in each shift whether you have a lightning fast shift or not, there is no way around it beyond increasing the redline, regearing the transmission, or both.

Good point. I didnt think of that. FTR, ive never claimed to be the master mech around here.

What was the power you were expecting from this? Whatever it is im a little concerned. I dont see any motor cooling in that list. At the least grab a big *** radiator from fluidyne or something.
