Man, that is low. By 15 degrees, you mean the leading timing way up in the RPMs correct? Where does the boost gauge vacuum/boost get its reading from? How does the car feel, it should accelerate pretty good....that car should be pushing 400rwhp without to much problem. You guys do a compression test yet? CJ

When you ran the car on the dyno, did you set the bottom choice to "rpms or engine speed" or "speed" (meaning speedometer)

If you had it on engine speed/rpms, ask him to swap the lower choice to speedometer and see what you get.
