Glad you're steppin' up Chern. Just like you did with the HS headers. It would be nice if you added the Kinetix IM, spacers, and L-spec tune to the mix.
I guarantee you we're gonna generate more power at low psi(5-8) than any other Gen. Haters beware; we're comin'!
I only wish the torque curve was more linear and higher. I want 300+lb/ft of torque throughout the entire powerband.

What are all the functions of the boost controller???

A manual boost controller is placed in the path of the waste-gate's sensor. The controller bleeds off some of the pressure in the line so that the pressure measured at the waste gate is lower than actual. This tricks the waste gate into staying closed longer than usual so a higher level of boost is reached.

Cool so does it have some of the monitoring capabilities that your SAFC 2 had?

380-425whp in a stock auto tranny is gonna be crazy to see. Chern, I hope your shop "completes" this kit for us so when it's my turn all I wanna have to do is order it, have it shipped to TX and have someone local install it. Detail instructions will be helpful also.
The only thing left to decide is what type of blow off I want; HKS SSQ's whistle+swoosh or Tial's shwiiiissh...

Looks like a spike to me.
That's what CF is for.
Hold the shifter to get it to stay @ 6550. Be nice to get a baseline before the turbo.

Agree bro but my time before the leap is limited (I'm preparing this at a time when my jobs workload is running 110%), my closest Dyno is 1-1/2 hrs away and IMO with my ever changing mods would have no added value since 80% of the current 6th gen Maxes don't have the mods I have.

A baseline dyno would be overkill at this point. We have a pretty good idea of what a full exhaust+tuned AFC does for the 6th Gen.
Imma just throw my guess out right now.
I say no more than 380whp because I just thought of something: 8psi is 8psi with or w/o headers. Headers may allow boost to kick in a little sooner but that's about it. Headers are on the hot side so ultimately your boost controller with control the exhaust feed side. If anything, a 3inch downpipe(if that doesn't come with the kit) would do some good.

Agree, at this point a baseline Dyno would serve no added value for me, the money can be better spent on a quality install...

torque steer torque steer. All this talk about torque steer but I don't think it's gonna be that bad. The only time I have bad TS is if I stomp on it on wet roads and break traction; it goes hard to the right. I mean, if you're taking a slow turn and then stomp on it in the middle of the turn you might have a problem but...
Throw on you a set of 20X9s like I did and traction should be decent.
