Power isn't randomly going to increase from 7100 to 7500 on a stock turbo'd car. This car is very weak and shifting at an rpm further out of the stock turbo's efficiency isn't going to change that.

Wow, I have the same 60 ft times as you with close to 400rwhp and bald street tires. You should be ripping at least 1.8s or 1.7s.

Getting locked out at the higher rpms is not helping either. Another case of the famous ACT lockout at high rpms.....

Famous ACT lockout is driver and adjustment dependant. TT ran 9's on a ACT single disk and TTP ran 10's on a ACT single disk. It's all about adjustment and the minute you ride it too much and warp the disk ever so slightly it's all over.

I'm not a big single disk advocate but many people have run good time with no problems. Slipping a single disk is bad news.

We have a new version ACT with TTP spec custom disc that holds more power than HDSS and XTSS without any of the lockout issues at high rpms. PM for more info.

To the OP. Ditch the XEDE and get a manual boost controller and eflash at the least from a qualified EVOM vendor. We just so happen to be one of those vendors. Let us know if you are interested and have access to a reflash cable.

So how do you run two maps via a flash?
