rev limit of 5500?? are you asking why you can only go to 5500rpms in boost or are you wondering why you aren't putting down the same numbers as everyone else?? those numbers do look a little low for 9psi. FYI: 9psi is going to put out different numbers on say a T3/T04E 57 trim w/ .63 A/R than a T3 super 60, but you probably already knew that.

Also what is the "MSD monster ignition wires" that you have on your car?? do you have external coils??

Correct but rev limiter is 6450. First you need to find out while you are hitting a rev limiter. Are you sure it is a rev limiter and not injectors cutting out? What was your air/fuel ratio?

They probably dynoed it in 4th and hit the speed limiter, thats the same rpm that it kicks in when in 4th.
