He is lucky he didn't pop that puppy. What you experienced is a combination of a few things. If you used pump gas, your timing is too advanced. Those 3 degree of timing mean a whole lot if you know about engines and timing. Secondly, you are on the right track at removing that stock fuel pump, it can't keep up. 16 psi and 223hp tells me that you were detonating and your knock sensor has been trying to spare your motor by retarding the timing under boost. Stay off that dyno until you've sorted your power at stock boost levels or you a chance at ruining the deck as I have seen so many of those alloy blocks screwed up because of detonation and lean mixtures. Take your time with your investment and get the right stuff to make it work correctly and you should be able to enjoy your beast.
