Thats awesome if your spnning the tires at 75 mph!
Might need to lean it out some. What O2 numbers are you seeing?
O2 numbers are about 760 so I don't think it rich about the same as it was with cooler air.
Fwiw it was able to smoke the tires from a 25-30 roll now it just maybe turns them a little when the boost first hits. It's not as awful as I first indicated probably. It was really slamming me and my in unsuspecting wife back in the seat when I punched it to pass or something now its just a mild shove.
love this turbo Buick app btw just uploaded a picture of my car as a test.

How long do you have to stay in it to get the O2 number down to 760?O2 numbers are about 760 so I don't think it rich about the same as it was with cooler air.

When I want my Buick to feel faster, I just drive my "slow" 12.3 sec Z06 for a week without driving the Buick...

this is the best time of year i spend all winter driving my 99 suburban k1500 with 4 inch lift and 33s and then i jump into my buick and dam dos it ever feel fast
When you first get on it,the O2 numbers should be in the 830s then fall to 780ish at the top of third gear. If it starts out at 760,it's too lean. I would richen it until the first numbers you see are in the 830s.
Ok I love my car again they grew back 
Drove it to work this afternoon sunny mid 70s...
Car felt good love my new stereo too!!
Dropped the hammer at 30 mph and it was smoking the tires and sideways to 60 mph or so !
I think it was the three passengers I had with me that made it feel slow with an extra 300 pounds I guess.??? Boost was 21 peaking at 22 now that it's warmer lowest o2 was 785 knock was .5 fwiw.
I did smell some burning oil once today when I ran into the store and got back in with the door open when I started it. I'd not been running if hard before that time . Then when I park it in the shop ii didn't smell any ... The car is possessed.

Again,you want to see 785 at the end of a full quarter mile pass. If you're seeing it shortly after you go WOT,you're lean. You should be above 800.Ok I love my car again they grew back

Are you using your alcohol?
Update. Drove the car yesterday warm about 85 degrees.
Car was feeling down on power even though Id upped the boost 1 round now about 23 PSI.
Still ran ok I attributed it to the heat. Also passed a truck on the highway ( 18 wheeler ) hit it at about 55-60 and it only downshifts to third is that right. Pulled ok just really smooth shove in the seat. Saw a movie etc.. and drove home it was about 7 pm temp had dropped about 10 degrees and dang it feels like I added 2 more cylinders. I punched it at about 45 and it slammed me back in the seat hard. maybe it was just the 2nd gear downshift... lol... Just glad knock is staying at zero.
I have plus 6% fuel being added. Another thing when I first punch it the O2 goes low and seems to climb every update on the scan master. It may show a low of .720 but if I watch it like from a 40 to 80 run at 80 its reading .780 or so.

What fuel filter do you have? What octane?
Get a wideband if you want to tune. The correct narrowband reading will change with ambient and boost pressure changes ie: if you tune it at one boost level and change boost, the NB will act and read differently from the pressure difference regardless of actual AFR.
I've seen everything from 750 to 825 at the top of third be the same 10.5 actual AFR.
