Alright I made the switch to SD, changed all necessary setting in ECMLink (as far as I can see from reading and videos). It cranks, but wont really start, when it does it runs for a couple seconds and sputters out. Ran when parked on the MAF.

I'll post a log of cranking if anyone wants to look and see what they can see. I'm trying to learn all this on my own as I don't really have the extra money to have someone do it for me so please no hate. LOL.

320hp is respectable

What is hard to tell is if your global fuel has drifted, or if you are on part of the SD map that you have not calibrated yet.
If you are going to target 11, you should be hitting 11.

If I was running this effort, I would put 10.5 in the DA AFR targets, Smooth out the SD config and DA Timing maps so that you don't have dips - extend your lowest values all the way to the maximum boost levels in the tables.

I would also run a pull at 15 psi and see where that puts you on the SD VE table. Somewhere in a 15psi pull you should be crossing over a VE cell of 1.00 in the 5-6k columns

yeah i went one click richer on the global as previous comments have said to do, but didnt mess with sd table after doing so, so id imagine some adjusting needs done there. My mbc is all the way closed/turned down, and my wg spring is 1.5 bar. should i just remove the mbc and just run hose from wg to boost source and run wg pressure?

Richer global is farther away from target. You will want to lean out the global to hit the target.

If you want to run richer, change the target, then check AFR to Target alignment. Then adjust global to hit target.
Hose direct from boost source to the WG is gonna be minimum boost.

youre right i think i said that backwards LOL anyway heres my last log for the day. Couple clicks leaner on global. long cruise log with a couple wot pulls. longer cleaner pulls. def still need some cleaning up on the timing curve but i feel like its getting better and closer. But idk what im doing LOL. Still contemplating paying to have it done right and correctly LOL

I made some tables you can use. 10.5 AFR targets, Smoother Timing, and Smoother Speed Density.
