Bullshit or ignorance?
I got a buddy with an 06' ss/sc, I also have the same car, he claims the car has a downsized pulley but has no idea what it is, also claims it pulls 15psi and has no idea if the car has injectors, it does have the k&n CAI and corsa 2.5" catback. He recently had it tuned by this guy from Kentucky with hp tuners. He now claims that he sees 260 whp so I'm asking you fellas what you think, is his setup capable of these numbers?

See there's the thing. He said his tune is more mild than aggressive since the cars his daily driver, I believe just a 6* advance in timing, I was told the afr and fuel trims were not adjusted at all.

PSI does not determine power level on a blower car....
If he has a smaller pulley, good tune, full exhaust, etc. 260 whp is do able.
But no way he is making 260 whp with 6 degrees advance. I dont think he knows what he is talking about.

I think you're correct. I'm just really tired of hearing the **** talk and wanted to try and gather some knowledge to disprove what he's saying.

The name James sounds right. I can't remember for sure though. Tuner came up to greenwood, IN and the kid I know met him there. I've seen the set up in person also.

It's gonna be a long life then for you. Imagine if someone like chip foose went around and corrected people who said they know this and that about painting a car and stuff. He would lose his mind.

I see the wisdom in what you're saying. Maybe it's the fact that we have the same friend circle and same car lol I'm not super worked up on it though don't get me wrong. Just wanted peace of mind I guess.
250-260ish i can see it
