Power does not come from boost. You can put 20psi through this engine and make shit power. Timing and fueling command power output ultimately- he could have his lambda fat to aid with cooling slightly, which will diminish output.

It's called tuning because you're adjusting with a goal in mind; just that most people tune to make the most power, where Mike has tuned for safety and the torque curve that yields him comfort on track
