Maybe I was not clear enough about my goals. So now I have a 4lb tune that needs a little more work.
So as recommended here I am asking and paying for that higher boost tune and abandon the old tune. But if my tuner disagrees with this setup then I will just keep the 4lb tune for now and look into this later. I like driving my car at this level. 550 Dynojet measured RWHP is fun but very streetable in my 4,000 pound car. And I can finally get into the 11s, just not very often. Driver mod needed. Working on that. But I am running right about where a stock ZL1 runs with DRs (11.9-12.2). Just what I expected at 4lbs.
I do like the idea of an electronic controller, but to spend the least amount of $$, and add to that my gauge pod is full, I see the manual set up as the only (?) option. The danger here would be if I made a mistake with the controller I could fry my engine. To help me avoid this I could put a hose clamp on the controller to prevent overboost.
I would look at some sort of boost controller that is more precise but does not go in the gauge pod and is affordable. Any suggestions?
I think everyone here agrees with the high boost tune with the ability to lower the boost to the WG spring level as a common setup.
