Can not build boost past 10.6 psi

I am running a GM 3" MAS with a translator box and 780cc injectors the orignal promblem fuel would cut out between 15 and 17 psi I had a stage 3 chip made to correct this problem but now I can only get 10.6 psi before the car cuts out acting like a rev limiter, Fuel ratio goes between 12.1 to 13.4 but does not cut off. Changing the settings in the translator box does not help does anyone have a clue what causes this, I am going to recheck the timing and change the plugs other than that the car is useless other a slow sunday drive.

If you have it chipped I would guess that the fuel cut code is no longer present so it shouldn't be an airflow thing.

Check your timing. I once messed up my timing changing my tb (had to remove that bracket between IM and CAS) and I didn't realize it. The car wouldn't build more than 8 psi before it started bucking. Turns out that I was running like -10 base timing and the spark was just blowing out when the boost got high. I reset the timing and all was well.
 

Yes it matters. The angle of the CAS is used to set your timing. It should be at 5 BTDC at idle. Check VFAQ if you need more info as it has a nice writeup.
