    So even with a perfect afr the car was feeling down on power in 3rd -5th. I switched back to a single meth injector for now. The little 2.5l just can't handle that much meth. Will retune now and see how it feels. Also although I was set to 15psi with my manual boost controller the data logs were showing it creep open at right around 12psi. So I switched from a 9psi spring to 15psi in hopes to get full boost sooner. Will datalog and report back later.

      Why do you have the oil dipstick tube blocked off?

        It's not blocked off, the loop snapped off so that's how I pull it out, it not actually touching the black tube as the red part is a bigger o.d. I just grab it from that to remove now.

            got boost down to 18psi, still need to go down 1 or 2 more psi so I can go WOT sooner.

              Have you considered setting up the traction control on MS?

                its very tempting as it can retard timing to pull power based on front wheel speed sensor, however I feel 2nd gear would just become a bog zone as even at power as low as 10psi I still spins ALL of second gear.

                  How accurate is virtual dyno? very.. I guessed 415whp, made 419whp so I'm impressed, this was back at 17psi. The RED lines are mustang virtual(with a better tune, stiffer wastegate spring and shorter charge piping, over the real life mustang dyno.

                    Nice work man! Do you use a boost controller w/ closed loop?

                          You are going to have to switch to your ultra wide flares. Currently my 255/35/18's clear no problem but I have another 20mm in the inner fender well for tire, I just need new wheels with better backspacing to utilize that space. The limiting factor starts to be the factory vapor return lines on the passengers side. But I am a little lower than you I think.

                              That's fine but with my new wheels offset I will only have 4mm more poke that my 17x9 at et0 and I'll have 12mm more inner clearance than I did at 17x9 et20 so I may be able to get away with just shaving the inner lip out of flares.
                              The new wheels are 18x9.5 et2 with 285/30/18. But i have a pair of ultrawides sitting here just in case.

                                Sounds like fun. If you want to see 255 clearance just shoot me a text. My current rear is 318ti rear with et25 on 18x9.5's. If I had my choice of wheels right now I would run et35-42, the. I could run some more tire.
