The sputtering I feel happens when the vehicle goes over 6000RPMS, it is not caused by ignition. I have set the base idle at 0 and mid at 0 with all trims reading at 81% and no sputtering or knock found. The sputtering gets worse if I try to change the base setting to a higher injector (ei 730cc).
I know the sputtering is caused by lack of the tuning experience.

I am having one heck of a time correcting the sputtering without experiencing reduced power. The way the car sits now, the performance feels extremely good and the turbo pull is awesome before hitting 6600RPMS. Sputtering is my major concern. Any ideas? Suggestions??
 
do you have a wideband at all? If so what does it read. It looks to me like you're going into rich knock. But I can't be sure cause I confuse myself alot when looking at logs. (which is why I watch my wideband and knock gauge religiously) Are you using an safc or chip also?
 
You simply have too much timing at 6k rpm. Stock 1G timing map is way too aggressive at 6k rpm. Plus, the reduced airflow the ECU is seeing from the MAF-T being dialed in for 720's is adding in to the excessive timing values. You must get an eprom chip compensating for the 720's, drop your base timing down to 0 or retard a few degrees, or simply convert the car to E85 and crank the boost up.

You could also tune with the AFC and just use the MAF-T for metering purposes. Gotta have a way to pull back some timing at 6k. This would be achieved somewhat by the AFC by increasing the amt of fuel being delivered (i.e. going + at the 6k rpm point).
