If you don't have several adaption runs on each map, the boost and fuel curves will not be properly learned yet.

So getting +18whp on 93 octane in 60 degree weather on a well adapted car might be below expectations while where getting +18whp on 91 octane at higher elevation on a 80 degree day might be above expectations. It's all in the details.

31whp was on 93, but was the boost at the default +3 psi or 4?
