What the dyno charts don't show is the partial throttle tuning. My injen intake pipe has a design problem where DV dumping into it causes false readings. Sam noticed that MAF gets a surge of air when DV opens, so my ECU adds fuel to make my off throttles pig rich. Sam did a trick to prevent engine from flooding and stalling.
Driving through parking lots were tough before tune. The lopy idle was affecting 1st and 2nd gear low rpm driving where it was galloping. It's so nice having that fixed!!

I do remember there was something about those injen intakes that gave people troubles. Looks like your tuner has a good handle on it though. It would take me probably months if not years to chase that down, thats where experience really pays off.

I guess DV dumps enough pressurized air that airflow in intake pipe actually goes backwards on MAF and cause ECU to add even more fuel. So engine gets double fuel for no air.

Sam was modifying my DV to hold 30psi to max out my turbo (just in case). From the boost curve, I think boost hit 28.8 psi when maxed out, so it really wasn't needed. DV sounds different now. It's stiffer and doesnt open as easily.
Did Sam perform the "gus mod" or "dodge garage mod"? If so it takes some getting used to.

I'll take a closer look later.
Congrats on the numbers. If that reads similar to a dynojet Thats alot of torque at low rpm's on the stock block. High load/low rpm can be hard on things. Was that the cowboy run before it was turned down some?

I don't plan on running this 71 long. I have a Red and Black sitting in my living room. I'm thinking Red next on my stock bottom and save Black for 2.1 stroker. What do you think?
