That is awesome man. You have a ton left in that car. I would imagine you could get alot more outa it even with that boost level. Get alot of the fuel outta there in teh highend. Appears to drop off to nearly 9-1 AFR at redline. Ya get that to 11.5-1 and you will pick up a ton of power. Also i would imagine you could run alot more timing. I dunno where you are at atm but i think there is alot more left in it at that boost. GL

you said in the vid you were running out of fuel? With your a/f you are pretty far from running out. Or did I miss something?

duty cycle was 105%, your right though if i leaned out it would have lowered duty but by 20%? doubt it.
fuel pressure dropped of too

with new pump ill be able to run ref reg and thatll help injectors as theyll see more psi.

when all is installed ill go back to dyno and turn boost up to 18psi
with 18psi and a/r in line gotta imagine another 150rwhp......OMG!

630 + 150 = 780!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like how it recorded boost. This answers the question as to whether peak boost on the dyno is where peak torque is. From your vid, it looks to be that way. nice numbers.

You should lower your duty cycle about 20% lowering from 9:1 to 11.5:1.
