Definitely running better but still seems that the PCM permanently cuts me back a little more after every WOT launch. Started out with about 5 ft of tire squeal(don't know what this thing should be doing). By the end of testing I was down to a chirp(first run after install last week did about 20 ft on the exact same spot-with some pinging). Can't say for sure that I noticed any ping. Could just be paranoid.
Don't think I can blame anything on the gas now. It would be impossible to tune one of these to run at higher boost levels if 94 octane is not good enough for the stock Radix setup. Could be that the 94 is just masking something else.
It's not bad so I'll drive it for a while until the rest of my gauges come in. Will talk to the guys at the shop that's getting them about putting the AV on their dyno.
Have installed and reinstalled the Radix tune. Factory tune is probably only good for idling now.

Just RnR'd the Radix-broken intake bolt-oops. Always fun climbing into the engine bay to set that thing into place. Seemed to run a little stronger now.
Also installed the Dynojet Wideband Commander.
A/F:
Idle-15 average
Cruising-14.7/14.8
WOT-11.8 (I think it was around 12.5 before the RnR??)
Will get it on a dyno ASAP to see what it is doing now.
Also noticed that where the intake casting bolts to the rear of the blower there are 3 upper bolts and only 2 lower bolts and an empty bolt hole on the right side. Is this the way they are all assembled?
