My target was 19-20psi and I tried stacking on both EC and stock tune, the result was the same so I just ran JB4.
I also ran an unblocked CPC, which did not make a difference either.
I figured there was not much more I could do to tune the C43 any further unless major hardware changes were made, or run WMI.
Long story short, the tuning potential of the C43 is severely limited. The funny thing is when driving the C43 I constantly wanted more power, but on my current ride I find it powerful enough to not want to mod anything as it is plenty quick out of the box.
There are JB4 guys running 11.5's and quicker, with just the tune, so you might have a car that you like now, but you don't like it because it responded better due to a tune. You had the C43for a few months, a FL car, and complained from the beginning, your words. You dropped it as soon as you could, one year in, and have never looked back. Except for the fact that you need to frequent the forums for the car you couldn't wait to get rid of. I'm telling you, far more dedicated people have run far faster, with minimal mods.

I’m not sure what conclusions you have drawn on your own, but as I said in my post, my target was 19-20psi and I achieved that with just the JB4, with no stacking on tune. Any more boost and I would require much more complicated mods.
yeeee bro! i noticed one of your photos was from MB ontario. I go there to get my car service lol. i have a stock 2019 c43. Only wheels are aftermarket lol

The most probable conclusion is that there was something off with your car based on the info you've given. You're generalizing the c43 as a bad tuner car because it "didn't feel right" when you were trying to hit those PSI levels. those very PSI levels is what got my car to run low 11s with just a tune and intakes. if you were hitting mid to low 11s and still thought it wasn't good enough then you're in the wrong auto market segment lol

Nice dyno numbers. Post some 1/4 times and/or draggy results. Experience has shown that dyno figures vary wildly day-to-day, car-to-car, dyno-to-dyno. The best indicators of performance increase are certain metrics over stock figures (0-60, 1/4 mile and 60-130 for example).
