The RPW decomp is good to 18psi. The stock headgasket will hold up fine to high levels of boost as long as you have ARP head studs. The RPW gasket is composite and is prone to failure under boost. There are threads on other sites that talk about this.

Instead of p0300 during WOT I now get p0304 which is cylinder 4 misfire.

And my car is back to going lean again! It starts off at high 10 AFR and as the boost and RPM rise it tapers to low 12s AFR.

Did anyone else solve the lean issue yet?

i did. im now hitting 9-10 psi and my afr is around 11.5. i ended up having to max out the maf scaling at 800,900, and 1000. does your boost rise with the increase in afr? i noticed before that i would hit about 8 psi at 12.5afr, and then when i increased the amount of fuel to under 11afr, my psi dropped to about 6.5. so i think the leaner you get the higher your boost will be (almost like a runaway reaction). i would just try to increase the scaling more at 800-1000 hz.

What are your values in the fuel map? All 10.0?

So all you touched where the values in the MAF scaling?
Nothing else?

what kind of boost controller you running... sounds like that could be causing your variations in boost...

Hallman MBC, it's consistent with little to none boost creep.

I think my injector on cylinder 4 is going bad.

I'm gonna switch it to another cylinder and see if the misfire will switch.

I need bigger injectors anyways...
