Looks decent. But it is pulling a little timing past 6000. Maybe knock off a half psi at 5500 and a full psi at 6000?

It's been a little sleepy on here. My trims have been really good since changing the FOL to 70. I figured I would try out 4 gallons of e85 and see how it looked. Especially since temperatures are in the mid to upper 90's. Yuck! I wasn't able to get much above 6,000 rpms, but my trims still looked really good and my AFR hovered around 13:1 for the most part. My timing was not advancing as well, but I'll chalk that up to the 138 degree IAT at the end of the pull. Almost 23 psi peak and still holding over 18 psi at 6,000. Temperatures are supposed to drop down to around 70 tomorrow. I'll see how the timing looks then. Hopefully I can get it back up to the neighborhood of 16+ degrees. If that does work with the extra e85, I'll be very happy. I know I can push more peak, but I'd rather have it carry more up top

Thread is not old. It just goes to sleep every now and then. Lol. So you do or you don't have a JB4? Map 6 is probably good for about 15psi peak on stock downpipe and 18 on aftermarket. With a few gallons of e85 you can get 18 on the stock DP and 23+ on aftermarket

What's your timing advance though. I can get more out of mine, but my timing takes a hit. Boost is not greater than timing. On stock downpipe and premium fuel, you should see you Ign1 always increasing and eventually getting to at least 16 degrees above 6,000. I'm on an aftermarket downpipe and I'm not pushing past 17.5-18 peak without a timing hit on 93 octane

When you get a setting you think you like, be sure to send the log to George for a look. Depending on your car you may not hit 16 advance.

This is true. Best way to know is to do a map 4 log and see what it's doing stock. I thought about this after I posted. See what stock is and try to keep it the same. If you are losing more than 2-3 degrees, the boost isn't helping

Set your boost safety to something like 25 or whatever. As soon as it hits 4.8 it defaults to map4. Look at your pink line (target), or lack of pink line. It done flatlined. JB1 is no longer on map1 because you hit the boost safety. Put it back on map1 and set boost safety correctly.
