Yeah that is awesome. Cant wait til the day I can do that. Christian, are you leaving the stock wheels on....sleeper? Should paint that intercooler black.
Looking at the graphs I see you guys moved to 100 oct fuel when exceeding 10psi boost.. Did you experience any knocking?
One good thing about living here is you can pump 98 oct fuel from any petrol station! Sucks to have GTM 10000 miles away though lol
Part of properly tuning a car is not getting to the point that the car will knock. We keep a close eye on things and we felt that to push the car further it would be wise to switch to 100 octane. Not because we had to but because we wanted the extra safety margin.
Whenever we tune a car Sam hooks up a knock amp to the vehicles knock sensor and monitors knock via head phones the entire time he is tuning, this ensures that he is in-tune with the engine and what is going on - preventing knock before it even happens.
If your tuner is tuning your car without head phones, its time to find another tuner.

keeping stock wheels for now, ill go for the wider tires though when the time comes.
believe it or not.. I really question if the internals would hold up against that much boost though especially with aggressive/track driving.. If I'm going there I'd rather be safe than sorry and get her built.

That's what I was thinking. I'd get lower compression pistons too along with the other goodies
