1.8 EWG gt2560
Old setup: stock bp4w. Externally gated gt2560 at 13psi
Current 2018 setup: Built everything block with stock pistons. Stock bpw4 head. GTX3071 @25psi, E85, Honda intake manifold. Stock drivetrain lol
2018 goal is to keep engine/drivetrain in one piece and run an 11 second quarter mile.

Since you know everything that i NEED to do why don't i just let u borrow the car for a couple years so u can make it right for me. If u could actually read youd know i cant use EBC or it will spike. Ive tried standalone ebc, mbc, and hydra ebc. The only way it wont spike is straight spring pressure

I have an aem tru boost. I can set at which pressure the solenoid stops sending pressure to the top of the diaphragm(holding it closed)
If i set that number near or above the spring pressure, it will spike when i shift at high rpms

this is from the previous run. it spools fine. like i said, the wg just opens way earlier than target psi. and if i use ebc to hold it closed longer, it spikes on up shifts.
im happy rn. i made good power to beat mustangs at the strip and not crazy torque to blow the stock engine. im happy asf for 261 whp on a conservative timing map that will never knock

Good power as expected (for that much timing/boost). What really surprises me about the torque is how flat it is and how flat it stays all the way up, but then it looks like you're dropping timing from 19 to 16 if it goes to 14 like you say.
I'd congratulate you on really clever tuning (this is about the least abusive way to make 250 and try to keep the rods intact) but it looks like you got that result on accident lol
Congrats anyway

Yeah I knew I was going to get flamed for the lack of torque but im actually happy about it for the stock rods. Its just preparing me for the feeling of a big turbo car when i go gt2871 in the future.
Next is 1320 trap speed
ALSO---- thank u for telling me to get a baseline number. I could've started turning things up on the street and popped the engine. I didnt think i was anywhere near the "limit"
