By conservative I mean:
-boost is 10lbs but sometimes 11 and touches 12lbs in cold weather
-AF is lean...pretty much 10 until high RPMs
-we lowered stock redline to 6400 bc of boost levels

*disclaimer...I'm getting retuned in a couple few weeks to improve AF (11.6ish)and possibly lower boost and still maybe get more performance/better #s

At the end of the day...I WANTED the ZL1 bad but IMO I'm way better off for the money (minus the warranty going bye bye)
You said you lowered the redline to 6400 due to Boost levels. What is the stock redline, i thought it was around 6400.
I have a stock 1LE and the only thing I hate is the redline which seems to be around 6400. I would prefer the engine could approach 6800 to 7000 rpm.
