WORKS tune too conservative?

No sound clips. I am sure they can retune with an ECU Unlocker. If I can get a clip I will. No promises though.
I am not sure how the WORKS ABM compares to other straight through design mufflers since its input is on the side like the stocker. I know it has a big open area where the input goes to and it is kind of conical on the inside. It is very good suppressing noise.

oh BTW without a tune 25psi with 91 will
A. knock substantially
B. lighten your wallet anywhere from $3000-$6000.
And you really need someone who knows what there doing if you tune a car to 25PSI on 91 octane fuel.
Typically 22psi is a good number if you use good fuel and you still will have a good timing map.

I usually see more boost taper with a restrictive exhaust(of course) and the car usually will take less timing then what is typical especially with any type of cat.
Every car is different, 107mph trap seems about 2mph shy then what you should be running but there are many factors that could affect this.
I am willing to bet you may have a boost leak somewhere, see if the guys at GST can help you out I have a feeling they could possibly solve your issues, if not eek out some more power for you.
I would strongly advise you not to turn the boost up, especially on 91 oct, without a knock light and wideband

I'll be ordering a throttle body gasket. Does any one know what else I should replace while I have it out just to have my bases covered if it wasn't the gasket?

You were right on the money with the boost leak. I just did a boost leak test and found a significant hiss around the throttle body area but couldn't find the exact location. Even with soapy water I just couldn't find it.

$750 for a tune seems awefully steep unless your getting an AEM tune from someone really good.
Should have used mellon lol.

and yea the tune was very expensive. The flash was $550, dyno tune was $150 and installing the boost pill was $50 plus tax on all. They did have great customer service though and actually answered their phones. At the time they were the only ones available to do a dyno tune. I just really wanted a dyno tune just to check every thing was within spec. I just wish they would have told me I had a boost leak.

Ordered some TB seals and gasket. I'll report when I get the boost leak fixed on the car feels. I'm confident the power I expected will be at its full potential after the leak fix.
