All the gains achieved from cranking the boost on either engine is in the midrange up to around 6000 rpm tops.

This is very correct, if we look at the dyno graph and see that power starts tapering at around 5600 rpm's to 6000 rpms... so its not even worth taking the car up to redline for the N55

Just wait until I dyno my car on a Mustang Dyno, everyone is going to be crying that my #s suck, because it dynos way lower then a Dynojet, but its much much more accurate.

htt- These #s are great IMO for DP and Tune only. Especially on 12.5-13psi 370rwtq on that boost SAE corrected is awesome. These N54 guys are just hating

Juiced,
This is exactly what the N54 community has a misconception about with the new N55. For SAE numbers I thought the car did very well, but with the new updated STD numbers "MORE TORQUE" :-) .... The torque makes the car feel like I got almost 80 to 90 hp gains. Horsepower sells products and cars, while torque proves performance and wins races

60whp and ~70lbft gains at 12.5-13psi on 91oct. Sounds right.

Wow +60hp/+80tq.. that is way way better than stock. 332 at the wheels is ~400 at the crank using 17% loss for DCT. Not bad at all. Also, the tune really illustrates how much the turbos are running out of steam >5.5k.

under hard acceleration and spirited driving I shift right about 5800 to 6000 k because you can just feel the turbos fall flat on its face... But with the 7 speed, it keeps the powerband relitivley consistant and FAST...
