Impressive run for the 3900. I would guess that he's running like 20 psi of intercooled boost

No mention of anything greater than 15 psi in the thread. He and I have talked back and forth some time ago working between the 8F and 59 code mask and I believe he's using 8F which would be risky above 15 psi since it can't read above that. I have taken it to 20 psi but I run water injection to keep safe AFR at that level.

A 10 second run on a 3900 with only 15 psi of boost is amazing. Thanks for the reminder that that above 14.7 lbs of boost level you need to go to 3 bar support. I run 11 psi intercooled on my 3800 and all is fine but I guess its fun to push the limit.

When I get a new bottom end together, I plan on exceeding 2 bar on my 3.4 DOHC. 8F can do it with some changes it seems. There is a point right around 22 lbs of boost that becomes a practical limit. It converts the map sensors filtered signal to kpa to use for calculating BPW. At 22.1 lb's of boost... It hits 255kpa, which is the limit of 8 bit. It can no longer calculate BPW above that map. That's the practical limit of 8F. After that you need to change the calculations to work with a 16bit value, that's a bigger code rework than is worth the effort. Or, maybe it isn't... We'll see. I like 8F for the most part.

Robert Saar was working on a 3 bar modification of 8F, I'm not sure how far he took it. He did develop a higher resolution version taking it to 8000 rpm along with some other mods although I haven't tried to use it. I believe he has it available on the 60 degree or TGP forum.

Yes, but there are benefits to keeping it as simple as possible and I believe having the skills to modify the code and have it do exactly what you want it to is rewarding in some way also. Diagnostic capability favors OBD II but if you know your system pretty well it's not an important enough benefit for me to go through the trouble.
