Question Boost goes to 29psi in the 2-step!!

So im standing at the light last time i went to the track while i was getting ready to stage... So i hit the 2step to see what boost goes to and it just kept going up and up till 29psi After i left off the gas, the car wants to stall and it smells like fuel all over.. Why is it doing this? Before it would go to 8-9 psi max

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Or a line came off - you are max boosting.

You're not using the ECU for boost control so it's not directly caused by the tune.

How are you measuring boost?

Why would you hold your LC for so long? You're only supposed to use it for a few seconds.
