If you happen to have meth then you'll pickup some addl power from the lower intake temperatures and less IAT based timing reduction. Since you are a manual trans using no lift shift things are a bit different as well compared to say an automatic trans with regard to timing post shift. Overall your map 7 logs using E60+ look fine to me. If you really want more power you're going to need larger turbos.

In terms of what the N54 is capable of stock turbos I think 460rw is really the upper limit. You might be able to run 16.5degrees of advance on a single gear dyno but as soon the transmission shifts the DME is going to drop that down significantly. I'd love to see someone with a log holding 16.5 degrees of advance post shift just to know if its even possible.

Very true Mike. Post shift is not possible, but post shift 8 to 10 and then climbs back to 16 is. As much as we would like to see bigger numbers from stock turbos, even 460 whp is 100 dc on your little turbos. The only way to get more power, like you said, is to upgrade...

Well, im already saving up, I can get twin gt25s installed for $2200, I have a good friend that makes sick manifolds so that won't be an issue. So I'll prob get it done over the winter.
