11.5 is PERFECT for a safe 93 octane tune. You can go a smidgen leaner, but it isn't recommended.

Wow... cool. Not bad for an off the shelf map. I always heard the accessport maps were kinda rich so I was expecting 10.9-11.2ish... I do have AMS upper IC piping thats not on the cobb map, maybe that made me a little leaner?

The upper pipe should have no effect on the AFR. Things like big front mounts, intakes going to the turbo, cams, turbos, exhausts, and boost all affect the AFR.

Spinning the tires!?? I miss those quick spooling turbos!

Yeah Jim, from a stop...I can spin the hell out of them. Shifting fast and hard results in the tires cutting loose too. I am on summer tires too. I am tuning it to be a torque monster. AFR is close to being spot on. Boost is up to 29psi. I have room to go up to about 32psi, but I don't want to push the green too hard. It loves e85.

I hope to get a few clean pulls so I can post the results.

If anyone is wanting to make the switch, I highly recommend it. Fuel mileage does not suffer as much as one would expect. Power is vastly improved. The car runs amazingly well on this stuff.

Sean....I've been looking at your tune, and we have A LOT on the table. Get a Wide Band ASAP so I can re-tune you for more power. With your mods you should be close to the 400whp range.

jimib, just checked our your build thread. Pretty impressive work! I had my first attempt at porting my head this past winter and it went well. I wish I had a dyno to do a stock vs ported comparison. Do you work for anyone locally to build engines? If you ever need a hand or dont mind people watching Id love to check out your builds. I always love learning new things.

I have a LC1 serial cable in the car and a working USB to serial if you want to give those a try. I'll actually be at the office today if you want to swing by and grab thems.
