Why didn't your car like 12psi, stock actuator not holding up?

As for the rest of that, stock Catbacks are good for 350/120++mph, proven fact. So the rest of that dribble just sounds like trying to justify the low number.

haha nar dont need to justify the power, its there. yeh he said if I went to another shop I could have had the rwkw numbers on paper. He said he can tune up to 15psi with stock actuator not a problem. As for why it didnt like it at 12lb is something to do with the way he tunes, he said the car wont go past 10psi without changing exhaust to do it safely, I mean yeh henz a catback might be enough but then im only left with changing the dump so id probably do both

yeh ive seen heaps of people have there tunes with over 300rwkw with stock coolers or monzas which is why I thought it was a sure thing, but when I told him I have plazmaman cooler, k&n filter, high flow cat, 60lbs squirters he said should get around 260rwkw... I myself was shocked a little after reading others figures but turns out the factory computer showed it would lean out and was changing timing to something unsafe when more boost was added, he said if tuned in an open loop circuit which is what most tuners do I could have the numbers on a piece of paper and an unsafe tune, and he could change it but bypasses the factory safety features ford have programmed. So if I change to a 4" dump with my cat and a single 3.5" system the car will boost up itself to around 14psi and then can tune it to that. Made alot of sense when HE was explaining it lol.... but I think people might be forgetting that the figure isnt low for 10psi. I will be going to to eastern creek soon so what do people think ill run with my low power figure?

Can't tune up to 15psi with stock actuator... Either the guy has NFI or you are only hearing what you want to hear...

Could possibly be valve float or the cat...

There is something wrong with your mates car if yours is quicker...

worm I cant comment too much on the reason of the psi tuning as im not a tuner im just passing on what im told.... as for my mates car he is running 19psi with only 320rwkw and dunno where it was tuned but mine pulls harder that's all I can really say ? too many variables, what do you think my time and mph will be worm?

Another thing is just because a car feels as though it's pulling harder, doesn't mean its quicker. It's all in the tune and how the boost is brought on.

And that does sound a little low. Especially with the mods you've got, but as long as your happy then it don't matter.
