Update!
I did a few pulls on the dyno yesterday to dial in a new set of injectors. I'm using high impedance 1000cc injectors with a 3 bar FPR. I also added 2 large crankcase vents and a catchcan to reduce crankcase pressure from blowby. Oil consumption is still ridiculously low, I haven't needed to add any oil in 2k miles.
This dyno chart shows my newfound power (solid line) compared to the previous best (dotted line). Boost pressure is plotted in green.

I'm happy that the car is making a little more power off boost, I think the old low impedance injectors were sticking and causing an imbalance between cylinders. The boost plummets at the end of the pull because the boost controller is set up to fully open the wastegate at 6000 rpm. It's a safety measure so I can feel the power drop off and shift up before redline. Otherwise I think it would make another ten HP if I held boost up to 6500.

+17 Tq
+35 Hp

Nice gain, is that from the injectors and reduced crank pressure alone? Mustang dyno?

I've been adjusting the tune during my daily commute over the past 3 months, so there's a little more timing in it, too. The extra timing is noticeable around 3500rpm and up.

I'm embarrassed to say I don't really know. I rescaled the timing maps so the load floats between the last two load rows. It's approx 25* at 6k rpm as best as I can tell. I gotta stop hacking the stock ROM and get some real engine management someday.
