...in spool. Please remember that back to back there were ABSOLUTELY no tune changes to take advantage of the Black's more efficient compressor and turbine. With only a minimum of tuning (not trying to max it on straight pumpgas since there was no real comparison prior) it went to 455whp with 1* more timing and 0.5psi of boost.
Great job Dan, now lets see 100% meth and a larger jet 
Aaron, could you please post an overlap of Dan's Red on meth vs the Black on meth. I know the Red was on 100% and the Black was on 50/50 but I am interested in looking at the tq difference. Thanks
Just in case anyone wanted to know, I do believe that both the Red and Black are unported. Get job on the comparison Aaron.

Come back safe and we'll have the info, Mikey!
P.S. - what Aaron said, the one computer that was down has the old file. Oh yeah, I don't plan on running the bigger jet at this point. You and Matt can have all that fun.
And of course you had to post that S2 info in this thread, Aaron. I'm replying to your email that I ignored earlier.

I figured now was as good a time as any to trade up since I have low miles on my Red. When more results start popping from cars with the Black installed, used Reds will start hitting the market and the infamous low-ballers will score some deals.
I have seen posts from people getting Red-->Black conversions (I think I've only seen one person officially, actually), so that is another option for you to weigh, Matt. Big jet meth and the Black should be pretty sweet! Oh yeah, and no sticky WG for me this time!

S2s need valvesprings since the cam works well above 8k with a larger turbo
I've been poking around looking for info on the turbine wheel and compressor wheel in the black. Are major and minor diameters known for these wheels? Is the turbine wheel same as in the Red and compressor wheel same as in the HTA3582?
Man, there's been some good info coming from the NW contingent lately!

The Red and Black both share the same turbine wheel, the tdo6h turbine 67mm (specs for the wheel are all over the net). The compressor wheels are different, the Red has the HTA76 wheel, and the Black has the HTA82 wheel. You were on the right track with what the combo's were, but now you know Talonboost.
Thanks for the dyno tests ER!!
Aaron, do you think that I could run boost in the high 20's with the DSM Black that I have with my talon?? I would be stoked if I could gain a couple hp over the 3575 that I previously had on there, not to mention the extra tq and 1,000+rpm from the Black spooling way faster.

520 is the M3 and 546 is S2s. Sorry I thought I mentioned it earlier, but the M3 also took less timing down low which directly affects torque so all in all the S2 is a win. To be specific these were the 278/274 11.5/11.2 "evolved" S2s with the oiling groove modification as well. When I can convince him to bring the car up I am going to do a pull from EXACTLY the same RPM on the S2 setup so the powergraphs are even more obvious.
