Good news. If you could though post a dyno plot with A/F we could check on your current tune. Always nice to get a 2nd (or more) opinions....

seems to me the A/F is too lean, possibly too much timing and you're making a lot of power now.... but maybe not for long. The curves look very jumpy too.

I'm paranoid as hell with taking precautions with FI. Make sure you're hitting 11's around 5k and up. I thought 15 was high for NA, for 15 that's just dangerous

all fine - that 15 reading is on idle. Under load, it's hovering around 11/12. My bad for knowing what reading was pertinent.

how much boost r u running?
0.8 bar

Yep, stock pulley, and that's what the meter said...

I'll get them to clarify, but it was on screen throughout.

Steven,

Is it maybe that you are getting 8psi (or about 0.6 bar)? That's what I see on mine

Also unless something has changed dramatically, your AFR should be fine. When I had mine done at same shop as yours, they commented on closeness of numbers. Mine sees a max of about 11.9 at about 1/2 boost (4 psi) and then drops dramatically to 10.2-10.6 range to redline, symptomatic of the Vortech 'rich' base map.

They can lean it out during the tune but when I have it done, I'm gonna have that peak richened slightly - aiming for 11.0-11.6 throughout.

They told me it was definitely 0.8bar - so I'm only going on what I was told!

I get similar figures, but slightly leaner. The confusion came from me reporting my *idle* AFM reading - which is much leaner.
