Jeff Tuned the car today. We got 401rwhp and 373 ft lb with only 11 degrees of timing up top. We only took it up to 6000rpms.It still had more left in it as the hp didnt roll over yet but I called it quits. Wanted to keep thetune very safe.I think this seems to be a very safe tune for me and with 400 to the wheels I am satisfied....for now. haha. My max boost only read out 7.4 psi up top but Jeff said the numbers always seem to read out a few psi shy of what my boost gauge will read out. Boost gauge will go on this weekend so I will have to check that out and see what it reads.

I'd say if it turned 6500 you would have seen a nice addition of ponys.. Its just like they rated the 426 hemi at 425 hp........... at like 5000 rpm. Rebuilt original parts hemi's have been dyno'd at way over 500 hp....

Yea, at 5800 rpms the previous dyno run I had 390 to the wheels and we went up 200 rpms and picked up 11 hp and the hp numbers still didnt roll over so it was still going up. Torque numbers were dropping to around 350 at 6000. If I ever get it tuned again or anything maybe I will take it up to 62 or 6300. But I was really running out of fuel so I would need to add a BAP. But overall I am really happy with it.
