What octane? looks about right from the little I've seen and at 26psi maybe a little low. I would look more at the safety of tune and if your happy with the power than some arbitrary number that can change from multiple variables and dyno to dyno.

Numbers seem a little low to me. Also, boost seems to be coming on a little slow and a little too gradual. Could be a boost leak or it could something in the tune, or a combination. If you can, try posting a log and we might be able to help you further.

You're about 50-60 hp low and about 40-50 tq low if I had to guess.

I thought all RS came with 10.5 turbos. I could be wrong.

360-370hp with stock cams, stock block, stock turbo? seems a little absurd. I wish it was that easy.

This or they have gotten accustomed to IX numbers as well. For an VIII with the 9.8, no cams and the fuel its just about right.

Yea bud I think you've got a boost or exhaust leak somewhere. Boost just seems to be building slower than it should, especially from 3500+. I would do a boost leak test and also check your wastegate and perhaps try adding some more preload. Also, what BOV are you running? If it's a stock 8 (the black plastic one) there's a good chance it's leaking and opening prematurely. Lastly, in the tune, if you're using Tephra V7 you could try raising the "100% WGDC until" table to say 220-230.

Just a few suggestions that I hope will help

looks a little low for your mods. I had similar mods to you except stock exhaust manifold and 272 HKS cams at 23 # of boost and made 325 hp/ 319 trq on a dyno-jet. I know your running stock cams but a little more boost. Also I had evo 8 10.5 turbo.

Ya its been a while since I've boost leak tested it. but the normal culprits have been taken care of, 9 bov, TB seals, clamps all tight. Im partly thinking its the stock lower pipe thats choking it. I did like the idea of raising that table though. Done

If that doesn't help much I would definitely check the preload on your wastegate and maybe tighten down a turn or two.
