Damn I can't believe that's all the power Buschur could make on a Red. I mean the guy makes 400whp on 93 octane on stock 9 turbos.

Ya he was running a little more boost there, but the Red should be able to make more power than a 9 turbo with slightly less boost. I'd ask him why your numbers are so low.

Just to throw in my input your dyno graph looks great the turbo is spooling up perfect and your TQ band isn't to bad. Ide say the problem is the cams. With that type of powerband the only issue I could imagine would be the motor getting choked up and bottle necking.

Different cams would increase your results. Kelford 272/272 and supertech springs and retainers usually compliment an FP Red very nicely.
Also, the BOV may not be able to support that boost level. You could easily upgrade to a Forge BOV which also compliment FP turbos very nicely. It may only be leaking slightly, but enough to leak off boost slowly therefore, limiting your total numbers.
Do remember you were on a mustang dyno so numbers are lower than expected.

I would say cams, gsc s2 are the best IMO. You also need to change your BOV, I bet it's leaking, although it's crushed. These two mods should get you to 400 already. People usually underestimate the gains from switching from oem to after market BOV.
You have a 6 speed trans, you should be doing 4th gear pulls. This will usually boost your numbers a little bit.
One more thing, you didn't mention anything about your LICP, you're not on the stock one right?

Would be nice!

funny thing is, your spool is great. I'll be running almost the exact same setup as you come next spring...right down to the hks 272s haha. they are a friendly cam and they were pretty good back in 2005 when nothing else was available..but everyone is right about getting something more current. What WGA are you running cus ur boost holding and tq curve actually look good, the numbers are just low for whatever reason...

Anyway, let me know if you still need to buy parts.

18PSI from Forced Performance. Did you buy all of your parts yet? I'm thinking of going back to stock. I'm not happy with the car at all. Shortly after my clutch was installed it started kicking out of Reverse. I almost got stuck at work the other day. My original plan was to keep the car reliable but make it somewhat quick. I don't feel it's reliable at all anymore.

uh oh..i dont like to hear that...Yea i have everything except the red, but im sending in a spare IX turbo i have to be converted. That stinks that ur not satisfied with the car. You and me are in the same boat here..I'm about to upgrade my clutch and move to the red (or hta green) and im worried about losing reliability. Before u make any big decisions to scrap ur project, u should run over to CBRD (if u do indeed live in PA) and see if they can straighten ur car out. It would be another bill to pay, but they have a great cust service record and have a way of troubleshooting and fixing problems encountered at other shops/tuners. Give them a try if u wanna give this setup one more chance before parting out..good luck
I think there are some good recommendations here on the BOV etc...
out of about 20 cars we've tested in the past month or so.. only ONE single car has had a NON leaking OEM bov.... each has benefitted drastically from an upgrade!

We used to use the APS on everything.. but they arent importing them now!
and, some will recommend Tial, but in our experience the tial (recirc also) has too much of an on/off operation to it.... it can be hard to modulate while under boost or with varying throttle application.

Also I'll buy the Synchronic BOV if you carry it. Not sure if it works with my ETS UICP. Not ready for a retune yet though. Please PM when you get a moment and let me know what date might work. We previously talked through email that Nov 20th might work. Thanks!
