The car goes on a dyno on Friday however I honestly don't expect it to make much power with the amount of timing it is running, I'd guess 450whp max. Sucks because this kit has so much potential just to be handicapped by bad availability of fuel.

So your tuner is frustrated, and my tuner is "yay! more boost". Hmmm. If its honest boost, and not just some bad restriction, or cam issue, then it should be a good thing. People normally have to buy a different pulley to get more boost, and the result is MORE power, not less. So I wonder why he's frustrated. Because hes pulling timing only after 10 psi to keep it from knocking? And pulling so much that he feels it negates the increase in boost and ultimately will make LESS power?
Has Seb suggested getting a knock sensing tool to figure out if you're getting REAL knock? The tools from Plex tuning, Tuner Nerd, etc ? Im considering it, because I think my car too was correcting timing more than what my tuner was expecting from my setup. An maybe my tune also has pulled timing compared to other tunes, Im not sure. Update us with the dyno!
