Tuning Technologies IX 361whp 355lbft 91oct. Cossie cams
Obviously and I'm not comparing apples to oranges but I could have sworn the hp pump gas numbers were lower when I was reading it last night.
Those are super impressive numbers on 91 octane like I mentioned initially.

Stock fuel pump??? If so, could you post the IDC curve or tell us the IDC just before 7000 rpm?
appears to be a tremendous gain over his stage 1 mods pump 91 dyno (like +38whp/44wtq)... Not to mention he still had the cat in place...
a few questions:
1) Had the car been CUSTOM tuned (not just mail-in flashed) prior to the addition of the cams and retune?
2) Was the boost on the stage 1 pump 91 tune also 22psi?
3) Were springs/retainers installed with the Cosworth's?

The car first came to us and we completed a Stage 1. I gave it a custom tune on the dyno where it made 323whp 311lbft at 23 psi with the STOCK cat in place.
The car was on the road for quite sometime and recently returned for the cam and stud upgrade (no springs and retainers). Where I again custom tuned it on the dyno and made 361whp 355lbft on 91 octane and 392whp 369lbft on 100 octane.
The fuel pump was accidentally let out of the mod list, of course this thing has one
As for knock counts, I always tune for 0 to only 1 or count of knock anywhere in the powerband. Many have stated and believe that it takes a certain level of knock (ie. 5 or 7 or 10....) for the ECU to retard timing but this is false in my experience. Its much more sensitive than this, especially on 91. The car was very consistent and repeatable, it should make for a great drive.

The most important thing to note, regardless of peak power (every dyno reads differently), is the gains. The Cosworth IX Cams from what I've seen so far have been making the biggest gains on the stock turbo EVO IXs. The injectors and headstuds do little to nothing as far as gaining more power I believe, so the Cams a lone are making over 35whp and over 40wtq on pump gas. Freakin' great!!!
