I don't think the issue is whether or not you have a five bar, it's whether or not the car is tuned to take advantage of the 5bar.
The program should be specifically written to take advantage of the extra fuel, if not, you're better off leaving the stock FPR in there (unless the tune is running lean).

As for your exhaust...I say you mod the stock before spending $$$ on a Milltek or other. Worst case - you're not happy with it, sell it, and buy Milltek or other.
The dump is also a good option. I have them on my S4 and they have proven to add power...not to mention change the entire sound of the car, maybe a bit more (volume) then you'd be looking for...

well there is always the manual / non-electric valve system....seeing as the exhaust is so accessible on these cars...
You guys keep me posted on the time and date for the dyno day and I'll see if I can make it with my "old" K16/K24 hybrids and UMW tune. My car made 510Whp & 532# torque on 93 octane and stock wastegates and the 3.8FPR with an Upsolute tune on a Mustang Dyno (AWD), and I'm expecting more with a better set of afrs and IDCs.

For starters, it made 30 more hp at the wheels than a car that had ALOT more hardware (intake, exhaust, ICs, headers, etc.). I liked the curve a lot better, too. Here's the plot from the K16/K24 car at the east coast dyno day:

For wastegates, the stock actuator and rod are completely removed and replaced with a brand new actuator with a one bar spring inside and a thicker actuator rod. These are also manually adjustable to set the crack pressure equally. It is similar to the upgraded actuators that EVO sells.

Seal Gray. Just to correct the record and certainly not to take away from your great numbers but your info isnt correct. My car was run on an AWD Mustang at Wheel to Wheel Powertrain in Troy, MI. IT was 12gal 94 and 4 gal of 104 mixture running a pump file at the aforementioned 1.25 bars with a Miltek with a stock 3.8 FPR
Anyway, congrats on your setup and dont worry about all the experts around here. It is your money and your choice and if you're happy then I'm happy for you. Go get some 60-130's for another comparison. Have fun
