I think I am near the limit on my setup, and with my self imposed limits.
Added 135hp to the wheels.
Mods in signature below. I do all my work and tuning.
The only odd ball item is the turbo which I am documenting here:
The car will be road-raced (Watkins Glenn). This means that you need a rich fuel curve. Hence I targeted 11:1. Could make a few more HP leaning it out, but it is not worth it.
The self limit I set was ~300 lb-ft at the wheels. This is for longevity of the stock SST clutch pack. This is why the boost curve looks like boost creep.
200cell Mil.Spec cat. The typical ones they sell for Evo-X are 100cell. Had this one custom made. Never thought I would be a tree-huger.
Baseline (which I don't have anymore due to laptop HD failure) was 235 at the wheels which is typical for an MR on Virtual Dyno with 3794 total weight.
I am getting 1-2 counts consistent knock at 6.8k and up, so there is nothing more up top with this small turbine. No point in going richer. Pulled a degree for the next map.
Anyone with real MIVEC tuning experience I would love to hear from (for the high rpm knock).
(93 octane)

Reason: Octane
This is through a restrictive 200cell cat and on 93 octane.
If this kamak / kinugawa lasts, it is the bomb.
I have no plans of upgrading from this turbo, so time will tell if this can keep the fun coming!
