I would say your numbers r a bit low, but on 91 back in the day in a 103 f dyno room I put down similar numbers with hks 272 cams, I did 287 hp 285 tq on a dynojet. Its the gas mostly, but like someone posted how does it drive......takin a car to the ragged edge just for the sake of a bit more hp, not smart....if you feel its down one thing i put in my car where I notice a difference is the Lucas fuel stabilizer......gives our watered down additive gas a boost.. but to make more hp get rid of the mbc, switch to 3port youll get higher spikes in colder weather. Good luck.
didnt see that you en to fftec for that second tune. just go e85 and you should be ok. your compression might lso be hurtin you cause i have a stock compression motor and im 150 across the board... id say 125 is low in imo
those are some substantial mod changes/fixes to go right ahead and blame the tuner. but to each their own I guess.
This goes straight back to what vinny said. Bring in a broken car, hate the numbers, fix the car then change tuners and all of a sudden its the previous tuners fault.

b.) If I fixed the car I wouldn't be talking to you right now.
c.) I said the previous tuner was ****ty because there were massive, unexplainable gaps in the tune.
d.) Please bring your attitude somewhere else. There is no room for it on my thread. Thank you.
UPDATE FOR THOSE WHO CARE 
Ok so here's what I did since my OP.
- Compression Test 125/125/130/140 (near %10 difference but nothing to be worried about I think)
- ABSOLUTELY NO BOOST LEAKS
- Swapped out stock turbo for a fp hta 71(white)
- Megan 02 housing
- Turbosmart 22 psi WGA
- Treadstone 3.5" Intercooler
- fftec EBCS
- Switched Tuner (sean @ fftec)
I saw a 50 whp gain (mustang dyno) from the above (still on CA pump 91).
So now I sit at 315/305 on a mustang dyno. Still (I feel) about 30-40 whp under where I should be at.
HERE'S WHAT I THINK MY PROBLEM IS, TELL ME IF I'M FAR OFF:
Problem For The First Time Around (OP):
- I believe what was wrong the first time around was a S&*TTY TUNER. He had absolutely no idea what he was talking about and his tuned sucked *****.
Current Problems:
- Injen LICP connects like crap to my intercooler. Almost impossible to explain, but basically the elbow coupler reducer and LICP bends to create a small scoop internally. The Injen LICP sucks to begin with I am figuring out, and this internal scoop that is restricting flow isn't helping any.
(8-10whp loss)
- ****ty California 91 gas? I am going in to get tuned for E85 on Friday, I will post results when I have them.
- Possibly losing power due to semi low compression in cylinders 1 and 2? (125/125/130/140)
(10-20 whp loss)
- Still on stock exhaust manifold.
(10 whp loss)
So all said, if I switch these parts I think I will be right around where I should be.
Please let me know if you agree or disagree with my diagnosis and more importantly WHY. Thanks.

I only really read the post i quoted. Keep in mind that this is a mustang dyno so the readings will apear alot lower (more accurate).
My car was tuned on a mustang dyno and showed 275WHP. Friends evo's that had "340whp" from a different place (dynojet) users had no pull on me. So keep that in mind.
Also talking about your licp I would chack the ETS LP2
That is the pipe I have. It fits pretty much like stock and had a noticble gain. (also looks pretty)
with that hta71 and those supporting mods and e85... yes i would expect 400 but like u said cant expect too much might end up disappointed... hope for the best keep us updated
