My IC pump would just scream while not doing anything at all....(Insert girlfriend/wife joke here), but with the low boost I'm running I don't think it really matters. I do have a new pump that I will be installing tomorrow, so dyno time is on my to-do list.
Like I've said before, it feels a lot stronger now.... but they dyno will tell for sure.
Not to jinx you on selling it, but I hope you get some more fine tunage done and a good EBC installed to squeeze out even more power that's hidden 
What do you mean about your IC pump? Is it not working right?
No, you won't jinx me. The tune is actually an excellent tune to be able to just crank up the boost whenever I want like that and have no safety concerns. No knocking, no running lean, just smooth power. No deficiencies. Hell, I would actually be courting foolishness to tune it to the ragged edge and then sell it. Leaving the catalyst protection turned on might be smart too. Much better to be able to show a safe tune on the car, one that Oh By The Way is one of the more powerful Contours on the street.
As far as a quality boost controller, I think I'd rather use one of those to make more power rather than alter the tune at this point, for the reasons I stated above.
Besides, I've got to leave something for the future owner to do right? That future owner might like to be the guy to turn it up to 12-13, or even 14psi and and set down some big numbers attached to his name.
Yeah, I think I was smart to just check my work and show the proof of the skill in it.

Good point. I think it's cool you've been able to break your previous kits output and keep it safe. The fact there is still unleashed power and some minor improvments to be made (boost controller mainly) make it even more sweet IMO. Yes, my lightning IC pump didn't flow any fluid at all  It just screamed like there was a bad bearing in it, or the impeller was spinning/vibrating on the shaft. I did get a new one from Rara and will be installing it tomorrow.

I was referring to an EBC install.. Could be had and done for relatively little and would help unleash a little more power. Will be exciting to see what happens with a new owner, if you do sell it.
