Default Help with Holley EFI Boost - Log and video

Last Saturday was my 3rd day at the track with LS turbo build and first day using the Holley boost control. It is a dual solenoid setup using compressor source. 6 psi springs in the wastegates and I was commanding 2psi on the gate. I was using base Holley PID settings of P=10, I=30, D=0. 4,000 rpm launch and gates were holding at 5.5 psi and went to 9 psi in less than a second after releasing the trans brake.It holds 9 psi for just under 1 second then rises to 10.4 then back to 9, then 9.5 ish... So overall it isn't terrible, but I'm looking for advice on how to dial it in a little closer. Dome pressure in the logs shows quite active lol... Thinking needing to add some "D" but how much? 5 ? 10? Also I was pretty happy at the time it took to reach the rev limiter and launch boost psi. But when I went full throttle on the trans brake, it built up then hung for a split second, then came up to 4,000. I'm curious if and how I could tune that out. In looking at the log overlays in spark and fuel it was clear, but then I thought perhaps it just came up on boost which allowed it to power through the converter. Any advice in general on the log would be great. Have learned a lot but have a long way to go.

Oh and it want 6.11 @ 116 in the 1/8th. Was 90* and it was maybe a tad hot and I was low on ice!

Did you setup the boost controller on the bench(not hooked to the car)using compressed air/C02 to set the PID?

Yes I did test it with the base settings and shop air. It seemed to respond well but figured I’d have to fine tune it once everything is hooked up for real.

Good to hear. Most people skip that step.
