Maybe this whole time he's been tuning a 4 cylinder Stinger. He's actually the fastest non-TT Stinger in the world.

I use Lucas ( Canadian Tire) , for running a solid 93 Octane and , use Boostane (Classified tuning shop ),when I am running with the chip activated on the highest map bumping up to a 98 Octane Value !! These are two I use mostly for a fuel additive !!

dude you're really going out to the wrong way you don't realize what you're playing with You're not looking at it you don't even know how much boost you're actually running I mean if you're running like 24 lb of boost and the car is knocking its ass off at partial throttle You're going to break something I'm not speaking as some armchair tuner I used to do this for a living dude.
and just looking at a draggy is not enough data and then even in the data you can see gigantic dips happening

Most likely by the pull on the seat Dyno both before on the stock ECU with Race chip And exactly same Map , and now with a mildly tuned ECU to be honest the only speed difference and time difference is before with that now it doesn’t go into limp as it did before on the stock ECU with RaceChip, the difference I performance is only due to the Gas 
️ changes as the previous gas was Chevron and now under advisement I am running Shell V power , both the with the strongest Race chip map on stock ECU and the Pressertech ECU would fail under heavy acceleration, both the Pressertech tune and the Pressertech plus race chip neither fails and if I was boosting even at high as 20 psi my Launches would all to be much faster than only .5 seconds, Numbers don’t lie and I am not on here to be silly , just to share my true findings
Now with 21 to 23 psi In Total , that car would be perhaps more than a 1 second faster than I got stock on my scaled at 4300 lbs yesterday fully fueled Stinger gt, Yes indeed if the car was pulling much harder Then before and the numbers are almost the same spark knock either , I still have the slowest tuned Stinger on here , so that is my thinking on over boost Tomorrow morning the Stinger is check out , just in case , but numbers don’t lie they are what they are ! 21 Psi boost or above on my Stinger is not happening , 19 psi perhaps ! TOrk Motorsports Stage 1 is faster from what I was told and with my Mods whp maybe 430 max , The way it is with this setup perhaps 365 to 375 whp max

Ah I see you have a TOrk stage 1 so you will be faster than this Stage 2, Tune even with the piggyback, I was told that Kia has the Canada cars reduced in boost by 2 psi , not sure if it is true

So not only are you flat out ignoring what some very knowledgeable folks here have told you, you're justifying your beliefs by saying your car is slow? I don't think you should be messing with your cars ECU at all. You need to sell your RaceChip and have Pressertech revert your tune to stock (if they haven't already, unbeknownst to you (probably out of fear that you would do something like this, break your car, and then blame their tune)). You are not properly "equipped" to play the game you're playing.

That I do agree with in part , I just wanted to get a 400 whp and a reasonable 0-60 time so it didn’t go into limp mode again on the Circuit track , predetonation is now fixed just by changing gas brands thank God lol
dude I'm telling you you're making bad decisions about the engine Don't even look at the fact that I'm running a torque stage one... you don't seem to understand that the tune replaces whatever Canada did in the ECU so you're running a stage whatever tune now. and adding a race chip blindly on top of it is adding XPSI which is dangerous do you not understand that does your brain not comprehend that blindly adding something to the engine is how you blow the engine up maybe I'm wasting my time here ...

I mentioned Canadian cars run less boost in theory because I have never seen over 12 or so max boost stock and my LC is soo soft that I believe Kia pulled back on the performance of the Canadian cars out of necessity due to fuel concears. Again this is a theory I have as 2019/2020 Canadian cars appear slower than 18 cars stock. Don’t make decisions based on assumptions from members on here. Use the dyno to find the truth and let us know.

I am already waiting for the DynoCom here to get it new parts then I will have them do some data logs and get the Whp and torque numbers. My 2018 Stinger Gt was slower the Chip before and even slower with the now PT ECU tune , the car has a great top speed of 167 mph /270kms
MY car doesn’t have a boost gauge, which I may have one installed later oN ! The Pressertech tune is a very good 91 tune for in Canada but I will call tomorrow if I can and see if I can get mine reprogrammed to the 93 octane for sport mode, what has helped my car to work and run smoother was the change in fuel quality from one brand to the Shell V power and I add good quality Octane boost I still want to get on the Area 27 race track once if allowed with no loss of power which what happed last year coming out the corner s under full throttle lol just lapping 4.08 was on pump awd no snip. Arnie I gave her presentation on Facebook on how to review logs and how to know if you're going to blow your car up you really should watch it because dude you're making really bad s*** the choices. If you actually want to run more boost properly on your car take advantage of it get a juice box take some logs send them to me and I'll help you build a map six

The fuel here in Canada is why Pressertech tuned the ECU to only the 91 tune ! When the ECU was reinstalled back into my car they took it for a test drive staying it was fast then , I took it out and thought it feels the same as before as they forgot to Remove the RaceChip so when I went back to the shop I pulled the chip and, gave it a quick test and The PT tune failed in the exact same thing that happened with the strongest Race map which I had them send me a 2 psi less softer map , which solved the limp mode ! All troubles now solved by changing gas brands
after all the advice I got and my shop that done all the mods on my suggested to use the Shell 91! gas ️ And it fixed all the troubles with Boost failures, apparently the bad gas caused the ECU to pull timing causing it to fail which now takes me to were I am at now with the Stinger GT lol ______________________________

Interesting. So, initially you had their already tame stage 1 91 octane tune. The car didn't like it so you now have an even more tame stage 1 91 octane tune minus 2 psi. So, you essentially paid them to give you a stock Stinger tune. That explains a lot. Sucks that you can't get a refund on a tune.
The moral of the story is Canadian gas sucks. I have had my jb4 for 1.5 years and have tried many kinds of fuels and many many pulls and logs, hundreds Probably. I do not trust straight Canadian fuel in bc to even run map 1. If I’m running straight Canadian gas I run map 6 at 2 psi over. I run e85 off and on for higher maps.
Map 6 on jb4 is a map that can be changed by user by rpm. So i just put in all 2.0 for every rpm and it gives me 2psi over stock. Map 1 is 3-4 psi over stock and tapers to 2.5 psi at higher rpms. The thing about bc and Canadian fuel it’s all over the place. Sometimes map 1 would be fine with little to no timing pull then I could fill up and timing
will drop hard core and even get very mild pinging. I don’t bother risking it anymore. I have found a station near me that seams to keep there fuel quality the same. I swear some stations run out of there higher octane and give 87z
