Thanks for clearing that up as it did not seem resonable as originally stated.

I can understand you fruastration dude on your performance.
I would take control of the tune and not run Stillens although, must agree a 'turn key' package should be closer to dialed and more repeatable.

I can not comment farther on my own path to fix this as I am running a bone stock Z and for that reason I am sick with envy of all you members with FI.
Good luck with it, interested to see final fix.

If it was leaned out in the midrange, it would act civil, make more power and get better mileage and be closer to emissions targets.

My car does make 422 whp at 7,500 rpm. That part is ok. I'm not suggesting they lean it out at redline. It's under 5,000 rpm where the tweaking with Stillen's tuning needs to occur. If you look at their press release, they are getting 340 lb/ft or torque in the midrange, where my car is only making 280 lb/ft.
