I've gotten a handful of educated opinions on the AFR curve and so far everyone says its perfectly safe for this motor. That was the first thing I asked Morgan too. The tune is chip-based.
I am not too familiar with superchargers vs turbochargers but with it being driven off the crank, I expected the boost to be at it's peak well before 5K RPMS. Is that a normal boost curve minus the drop off?

Yea, you might want to find a way to pressurize the intake track. Leaks kill FI cars.

Morgan said that AFR was ok? I guess if there is no knock or drop off on the dyno and the EGTs align, it's ok. I run much more boost so I really run it rich on the backend to hold off detonation. Overall, how does the car feel? That's a big power pickup.
