I just made a doctors, dentist, and proctologist appointment.... haha,
I am not running a LWFW, I have a stage III kevlar clutch with the dual mass. I never checked my boost fall off since I owned the car; however, the other day I was running a done up E55 Benz which I was able to pull on but I felt that when I shifted he made up to much ground for comfort. I dont know if it was just the auto tranny vs manual or if I was loosing to much boost between shifts due to using a BOV which vents opposed to diverters which circulate.....so I am curious if I am seeing the same numbers as the other guys, the only other thing I can do is adjust the valve to recirculate and see if it makes a difference.

You probably have seen the kid around, black Z06, claims he has just a tune and intake meanwhile we found out he's running 125 shot of nitrous , yea I pulled him

I don't believe that is necessarily true. My custom tune from EPL does NOT go to 7k, He asked and I said no. I am out of turbo by 4500-5000rpm, so why rev to the moon? I think if you ask your tuner, whoever that may be, they can give you a redline you want. If you have K24's and got a K24 tune, it's likely you have an extended redline because the turbo makes power all the way up. Just my 2 cents.

I am dynoing this week to see the power curve of my car!

Just curious cause I'm running K24's and didn't notice it drop off until I shift around 6800 around where the drop off is. Gonna go look at my dyno sheet again.

Was this to me? Just wondering... What's funny is, I felt a dropoff with my stock K16 turbos when revving to 7k on my ex turbo. But getting up there in the GT2 makes the car get very scary/hairy... Instructors this year on the track preferred 6k shifting and no more, because as I said it pulls hard to redline.

I see him everywhere....... never knew what he had but obvious he had something... I thought he maybe had a head and cam package with a tune, but 125 shot? nice..... I heard your car runs real strong too!!

You're right....I just went thru this with my tune....I had to inquire about the shift points and commented that I was hitting the limiter in first too quickly..... and the tuner asked me if I wanted to up the rev limiter....I said no and am leaving it at the stock setting. So I don't think they just arbitrarily set up the limiter without discussing it first.
