- stiffer rear sway is not really necessary with a n54 car, at least on the e9x chassis where you can fit 265 and wheels with more offsets (wider stance). m3 rear sway takes away too much grip when you are powering out of corner IMO, even with a lsd. dunno about the spring rates on the KW, but higher spring rates might be a better solution. a lot of race cars don't even run rear sway for that particular reason.

- OTS maps are not for cars with inlets, perhaps that why you are seeing the overboost.
Thanks! Half cage is coming soon, so I'm working on it and definitely care about safety.

re: rear sway bar -- I don't know. Everyone I talk to at the track, with race cars included, says otherwise. I'm running 12k rear springs, moving up to 14k. Car has no shortage of rear-end grip and too much understeer. We'll see how it pans out.

Interesting info on the OTS map! I didn't know. I'm sure a custom 91 tune and a custom E30 tune will work out well.
