I already have the FF cables connected. Methanol injection indicated as 100% is normal even when i don't actually have meth installed on my car. I tried a flat boost curve before and ran into issues. The car was very rough at low rpm driving around town speed. I personally perfer a progressive boost curve as the driving experience is smoother.

In the mean time, I will just reduce max boost by 0.5 or 1 psi and adjust FOL to 60 or 70 and relog. Hopefully the log would clear up a bit.
I am more than willing to review your logs and point out ways to improve you setup. I have found that Terry and Steve are very short and not always descriptive with their replies. I assume it is due to the volume of reviews they go through daily though.

You shouldn't run into any issues running a flat profile but I can understand wanting a ramp in. I would at minimum remove the decrease in boost at higher rpm and maintain whatever your peak boost value is until redline. I found that when running lower octane, the more consistent boost is, the less timing corrections you will have, within reason. Adjusting FOL up will keep your tirms and ultimately your AFR in check.
