Here's my previous race with 5-29 maps:


This time I pulled harder on him right from the start. However, as soon as I shifted into 5th, he cought me up and overtook me shortly. At the end of the 6th gear he had ~3-4 car lengths on me. I'll post videos after the weekend.

So, it seems like low end is stronger but top end is weaker. I suspect this could be due to new safety feature when boost is reduced when oil temperature reaches 258F. This kind of sucks as it is impossible to keep the temperature below 258F when racing up to such speeds with stock OC.
Hmmm. I've never seen mine over 250 with the stock OC, but I have never buried the needle like that. What type of oil are you running?
