I'm actively working on my tune as well but power seems to be similar at this point. We both have a 6 speed/3.9 setup too and I see you're doing your pulls in 5th. I may give that a try to see how spool compares.
I actually confirmed the oem EGR baro sensor has +5v, so this is in the works. I don't foresee getting much more out of the setup above 24-ish psi, but I've been wrong before.

You actually may have an edge on me for spool if you use 5th. I saw ~700 rpm difference using 3rd vs 5th.

Is that +5 supplied by the MS3? If not, you don't want to use it for an analog sensor power.
The Rev MS3 does not have +5 on the db37. It is possible it has it in the OEM harness (although I don't think so). When I faced this issue installing my MAP sensor, I opened up the MS3, picked an unused pin on the db37, and soldered a wire between the +5 supply inside the box and that pin.
Having the +5 that is supplied by the regulator in the MS3 is important, because analog sensors like this return a signal that is proportional to their supply voltage. If that supply voltage is 5% different between the A-D converter in the microcontroller and the sensor (which would not be terribly unusual), then your reading will be off by 5%.

I see your concern, but I do believe that the ecu supplies +5v sensor power. This should be the case with both stock ecu and ms. If the stock baro sensor receives +5v from the ecu, then it is getting it from the ms, and thus will be correct for my external MAP measurements.

ddooohhhh.... I didn't see that. Thanks for pointing it out!
