Stock brakes are more than sufficient for the car. With good pads, I never had any issues or reason to upgrade them.
That dyno was on 27psi of boost. That tune is for dragging. I've got a torquier street tune that makes about 514 whp as well.
It's hard to get torque out of these motors, and not really necessary. The car spent all it's time above 5k anyways, so there was no need o make power down low.
