I would like to see that power at maybe 25-28psi without the spikes
not too bad, about what i would expect from a built motor, cams, head, etc....
What i am impressed with is the power with the minimal tuning, as i think the car would probably make an extra 100whp with a standalone, i am starting to see the limits of the stock ecu with an afc...im surprised it even got there on just barely a piggyback
Like I said before, the boost was all over the place, mainly because of the internal gate and the intake manifold. We had to crank the boost that high so it wouldn't fall off below 28 psi
. I'm not sold on a standalone yet, although I have a Haltech in the box and ready to roll. I highly doubt 100 more whp out of a standalone right now. The only thing I can see a standalone helping at this point is better timing control and sequential ignition. The fuel is right where I want it, timing is too. The stock ecu will pull timing when it needs too, no need to monitor knock. I'm going to stick with this setup until It stops making power.Thanks for the props man, I hate switching to somthing new when its not needed, hence the stock intake manifold and ecu.

Some solid boost control will make a huge difference. 30-32 psi across the whole gear will make more power with less risk at peak cylinder pressure/tq. I gave up on internals years ago, for high boost... Slap an external on and redyno that toilet. 
Thanks for the advice
