Last time I talked to him... The engine has over 15k on it and pulls hard.... For what it is :-)

That's great...
Did he ever mention any dyno numbers...? Or maybe you could ask him?

No dyno numbers. To actually see anything, you'd need a before an after. I have no "before" pull on any of my local dynos, so the actual power gain can't be established.
If I pulled a 180, the motor would look normal, but if i pulled a 150 before, then you could see that it was good for a 30 HP gain. Dynos are too unpredictable for me to waste $100 on a number that means nothing. I'll do it one day at a dyno day event, but I'm in no hurry to throw money away. Another guy on 8 club with a similar setup is claiming an 80 HP gain, but I'm not sure I trust that number...

Was there not a noticeable jump in power between stock and bridge? I am assuming you're running a different tune than stock, but with you saying it still needs tuned makes me curious if you just threw a base tune on it and went with it or tuned it at all.

It's tuned enough to run fine in closed loop around 13~14 AFR. Open loop is tuned to hold the factory AFR range. Right now it's all just tuned to be "like" stock. We'll push it further when I have time... busy with job, family, 3 websites, etc.

I understand. Hopefully you can get it tuned relatively soon and get back with us. Like you said, the power numbers don't matter much, but I'd be very interested in knowing the end result anyway.
