End of my Begi S3 saga with Ken Hill Mods and Tuning (dyno)

Nice. Very nice.
You can pull the xede tables yourself. Install xmap off the Begi cd (or grab it from Chiptorque), connect to the serial port, and turn the key on. Download maps. Show all maps. Screenshot for win. We want to see the MAF and the Timing table. And the TPS table if it's used, this is an MSM right?

OP, not to rain on your parade, but I suspect that particular dyno reads around 10% high. A 2560R at 12psi should only make about 240, maybe 250whp at sea level, and that assumes everything else is perfect - you're still breathing through a factory exhaust, which really makes 270+whp at 12psi hard to believe. Do you know what a bone-stock Miata makes on the same dyno?

The torque curve is really, really funky on this car, too. There's virtually no torque drop at high RPM, but the low-RPM torque is really poor. 2560Rs can typically make 200wtq well before 3500rpm (as early as 3100rpm with a tubular exhaust manifold, VVT, or head porting), but your car doesn't see 200wtq until 3700rpm.
I suspect the BEGi intake manifold is doing you no favors. At those power levels, you may consider switching to a factory intake manifold to pick up some low-end torque.
I'd also like to know why the pulls stop at 6300rpm - the motor obviously isn't done there. Based on those curves there's ~280 or 290whp at 7000rpm available - which unfortunately makes the numbers all that much more far-fetched.
OK, I'll stop crapping all over the OP now. I've heard great things about Ken, and I'm sure the car drives great. Confirm with Ken that the injector duty cycle percentage is safe, and enjoy the car.

Yea....that "Egojet" must be WAYYY out of whack. And hearing that you are on a stock VTCS, 450's, sucking through a stock MAF all makes me believe that even more. But.....you do have the Mazdaspeed Oil cap!!!

I have never dynoed a stock MSM. I have run a few MSMs with little enchillada packages and they come in at 195hp and 190ft-lb.
This car has a GT2860RS (Disco Potato) which explains the soft bottom end and strong top end. The car has a cast iron manifold.
Also, the Xede is using the TPS signal to kick the OEM ECU out of closed loop control. We are not coming out of closed loop until about 3800RPM adding to the soft bottom end. I will be addressing this on the street this week before the car gets picked up.
At 12psi (measureed by the autometer boost gauge) the injectors are maxed out. However, the A/F is showing 12.0:1 on the 12psi run and I know this dyno reads about a point lean so the true A/F is closer to 11.0:1. Personally, I'd run the car at 10psi and have a great time. I am truely amazed by the numbers.
