Though one had the PTP flash w/cattless dp and muffler delete, and the other was clamped. It's just nice to know the 290 range is about right for my mods and not LESS than I "should" be making.

I'm itchng to to a WGA and clamp now! However I may hold off to see what PTP does with this tune. May be a viable (if not better) alternative to splicing into my factory wiring harness *gulp*
I wouldnt necessarily say your car wimped out. Think of it as the PCM has your car in "time out". Your could have easily done better if your throttle didnt close on you. Well, the wastegate is an issue too but characteristically our power curves looked about the same. I have to find out how to raise the hp around where my torque is......

I don't think it was pulling throttle- at least I haven't seen it in the street. It's always at 87 ever since I did MS1. However I haven't done a 120mph pull in 4th to simulate what the dyno took my car though.

You should datalog some runs with your scangauge. You'll see that your pcm is pulling throttle especially since you have a dp. You'll hit 300 lb/ft of torque pretty quickly and the pcm will react aggressively to the tune of 60 to 70 percent throttle. Then it will slowly make its way back to 87ish.

Here's a clip of the corsa:
