Went to our local speed shop today and made some dyno pulls. I am content with the numbers for being at 11psi and on a stock block with 102k on the clock and running an old Super60. Made 248hp and 271ftlbs. Spikes 15psi and holds 11psi for these runs.
Played with the boost controller a bit more and saw well over 20psi on the street tonight... It's VERY picky. Looking to hold 15psi for the next track event.
but for the others, if that's impressive on a stock ld9 wouldn't 278 whp or 314 whp on a completely stock ecotec be just as impressive? idk maybe im missing it here.

The 314 was.
278 not anymore.
I know this car has more in it, because I have tuned a Ld9 to 266whp stock everything internally wise, just boost, and fuel.
Curious as to why changing turbo's? Going to an external wastegate one or something? My t3/t4 57 trim made 323, 285. Isnt your super 60 bigger than my 57 trim?

No, a super 60 is a full T3 turbo afaik, yours obviously is a hybrid with a bigger compressor housing.
Always wanted to see numbers from this thing as my setup was very similar(except auto), and I ran the same exact turbo for years. Best $50 I ever spent, came off a regal with the goofy turbine inlet, swapped on a .63 ford housing and was done. Only issues I had with holding boost was when I had a knockoff turbonetics mbc but I was also external with a tial 38. Should look into the turboxs dual stage, much simpler than ebc's and much more convenient than fooling with an mbc. Left the single stage alone since had a 10psi wg spring, second setting was at 12 which held perfect and spooled much better.
Was this with the tubular mani? Its def gotta have more in it, but damn it looks good doing it

Came off a regal huh? Enlighten me on that one! I know these turbos were used on Fords and Chryslers. Currently using the Hallman pro mbc with steel ball and toughest spring. I believe that along with my internal gate actuator are the reasons I cannot control my boost properly..
