Two guys, two mods, and a tune... in the 11's
Indy and I are maxing each mod before moving on to another 'bolt on'. Car is capable of going 11.9's as it sits. Probably make minor changes next. Keep going Jim, you're very close. We changed tune slightly and I sent it back to him. Reflashed, ready for next pass.
We're wanting to get the 11's with current mbc, air filter and tune. Should be able to go 11.9's with current setup. Next bolt-on will be minor change, if at all. Go Jimmy! Logs read, tune changed and reflashed, ready for next trip down the 1/4 mile.
EDITED: My refresh didn't pick up that my post actually posted, sorry.

We did not make it into the 11's today, but came pretty damn close. Eliminations started after the 12.07 pass, and I should have listened to 9sec9 and left it where it was. We lowered the tire psi and raised the two step in an attempt to get more bite. The very next pass I knocked the tires loose and ran a 1.76 60' for a 12.255@112.41. The next pass we went back to our standard tire psi and lowered the two step. Which after looking at the logs was the right thing to do. The car in front of me was running street tires and drug water all the way to the line, which after he ran I lined up slightly out of the groove, no problem. The SUV I was running against was dialed in at a 17.37 which meant I had to sit for 5.37 seconds. I went up three times on the two step waiting and left with low boost, cut a .022 light and bogged. It ran a 1.801 60' 12.409@112.04 which was the end of our day.
I really felt bad for 9sec9 with all his hard work creating this tune to be so close to our goal and not get it. I felt there was a high 1.5 60' and a high 11.90 there under the right conditions. We learned alot today, I worked on my driving, * no miss shifts today, and in the end we proved for under 150.00 in mods and the right tune the stock parts work well. Well enough to run low 12's possibly high 11's. At this point 9sec9 and I are going to evaluate where we are and make a decision to go forward, or make another attempt into the 11's as is. Weather permitting we should have a couple of days next week to make another attempt. Thanks for all your support, Indy and 9sec9

A relatively high 2-byte load numbers usually mean there is a boost leak somewhere.
It's also possible that the maf was rescaled, but then in that case, the quoted load numbers are not very relevant to other users.
If you are using a boost gauge, it might be a bit off, but with the 26.3 psi figure you posted, i am thinking you are using a map sensor to log boost.
I'm not trying to bash you guys or anything, the results you had really are amazing, no matter what the boost is set at.
Keep up the good work, best of luck!
I don't understand how you guys are hitting 300+ 2-byte load with only 26.3 psi of boost... A peak load of 300 is almost always equivalent to 29-30 psi, and that was the same on more than a bunch of cars I have tuned (with the exception engines).
