92 octane pump gas. 16# boost. The tune looks bulletproof! I'm spoiled to have such good local support.

Great power, but is the torque intentionally kept down?

It's OK. I have a crew that helps push to get me started!

In all honesty, I did have the heads flowed by a respectable shop. The tq numbers might have been effected by the flow work. Also, I asked the tuner for conservative timing and fuel curves.

Since I'm wanting to stay conservative in the tune, I think that my only option to change the tq curve is to possibly advance the intake a few degrees... but I don't yet know where my shift points will be, since I was previously running at lower power levels, I found myself using the 7K-7400 range to avoid a short shift... maybe now it won't be necessary. I'm very happy with the result. Can't wait to get it on track!

Oh I'm sure its fine on track since you're likely never below 5k, I was just curious why torque comes on in what appears to look like steps. got a boost plot or log? almost looks like boost is being intentionally held back and fed in gradually
