Okay so I hate to burst the bubble for those who are opening this thread, but unfortunately due to complications on the Dyno, I was ONLY able to get dyno numbers on the 21psi map Non-sport (Normal Mode).
Reason being, apparently the traction control kept engaging when I was on the rollers and cut off the throttle. The car needed to be in "Dyno mode". Seeing there was 2 ways of doing this. Doing the "Pedal Dance" to cut off the VSA or disable the ABS. The Pedal dance wasn't working for me, me and the owner of the shop was trying to do it and wasn't working. Not sure if we were reading the wrong instructions but the way I read on the forums to know you did it correctly the traction control light would be blinking, and it wasn't. Tried several times and nothing. Next we removed the ABS fuse from the cabin fuse box and deactivated the ABS, which worked and allowed us to do a couple of dyno passes but didn't allow me to go into sport mode and take advantage of the full tsp stage 2 map due to the ABS/ VSA being disconnected. I regularly see 27-28 target psi on sport mode so 21psi vs 27-28 (roughly 7 psi difference) is a pretty significant difference in terms of power loss and dyno numbers. So considering the only way to get access of the full stage 2 flex fuel map was being in sport mode, I was pretty much dead in the water. I'm sure there is a way around this since I obviously see these cars on the dyno all time, just wasn't working out for me so I packed my things and left. If anyone has any insight or advice in this, let me know. I'd appreciate it.
Now on to the better news....
Considering my passes were only the 21psi Normal Mode I'd like to say I'm quite impressed with the numbers.
I'm on 36% ethanol with a PRL Cobra Intake and PRL intercooler on the fx350 clutch running the TSP Stage 2 Flex Fuel Map and I made 255whp/281TQ
Keeping in mind that I wasn't even close to my target boost numbers on sport mode, can't really complain because I know if I was I would be well over 300 TQ and upper 280-290 WHP. Just on the butt dyno alone, Sport mode is a whole different animal than the Normal Mode so I would like to say with confidence that the TSP Stage 2 Flex Fuel does live up to the numbers they claim if anyone out there was skeptical about it. Again, even though I have no black and white proof on the sport mode numbers, it's pretty obvious they would be much higher on Sport. Even though I went to a dyno, I'm gonna have to live with the "what if" numbers so to speak... At least until next time I go back. Despite the disappoint I hoped this helped anybody who was curious about this setup and haven't either got the Stage 2 or haven't went on a Dyno.
Here is the graph on the TSP Stage 2 Flex Fuel 21 psi map. I only 2 two passes.
