English Racing + GSC S2 + BBK + pump gas = 451whp/370ft-lbs
Right now I am...I am going to see what I can squeeze out of it with the last few things I am going to try but most likely a BBK will be going on in the next month or two.
I am going the Spoolinup kit. For $289 I am going to try it out as it looks well made and uses Denso coils.

Yes I would love to hear some more on the BBK XL. I definately look forward to seeing your results. I would keep the stock turbo if E85 was available too me but seems they aren't so motivated over here for that stuff.
I noticed you're running a TruBoost. Do you have the additional sensor that allows you to run over 29 psi? I see you're at 28-29 on a BBK with pump gas. The sensor would be a must for E85 in that case, wouldn't it?

Anyways the Truboost doesn't even know about psi, only duty cycle. I don't really know what the cut-off would be with the original sensor (*edit, it says max dc is 90%*). My duty cycle is at like 70 right now. Regardless, for my setup, I won't be pushing it over 30 psi unless I do a build. E85 or not.

I can't read the whole thread. Its too long and its sunday. 
Anyway I have two questions.
The dynograph shows 13.0 AFR at peak torque. Is that accurate?
Also, the log shows 1 knock count but the timing appears that it is being retarded from the single count of knock. Goes from 2>(then knock sum of 1)>1>0>3>4>5>6. Is the timing curve tuned like this or was this a reaction from the knock?

BOltz- WB was being dumb that day, the AFR was consistent accept with the low flow at peak torque it seems. I had this happen on a few other cars in that time frame. Timing curve is conservative and thats what you are seeing in the log. It keeps the torque flat and at the level I prefer for stock bottom end cars.
BWrx / Blitz- The Tru boost stops reading at 29.4 (2 bar boost) but continues to control till there is no more WGDC left.
Mikey- Havent tried ECU boost on V7 nor have I tried using the factory 3 port to see if it works better. The 3 cars I have done are inconsistent and I have no interest in experimenting with it on customer cars. Whatever I am doing wrong I can't figure out so I prefer to use what I know since ultimately I am to blame for failures. I think the highest straight pump Red we have seen is 445-450 or so?
DB- As Jeremy answered the ratio seems to be more related to airflow than hp. On stock turbo cars I have seen as much through a MAF as I have SD (on E85) but the average seems to be holding at 11-12whp. On the larger turbos its is significantly better since the MAF becomes more of a restriction when you have an inducer that is larger than the MAF. The BBK cars seem to be around 15-18whp on pump, havent tested vs E85 on that turbo. On a 3582 it ends up being around 28-30whp all tolled.

I would like to have the sensor just to know what im spiking too. but the it will control boost past the 29 psi, just doesnt read it.
