Don't be disappionted in the gain of peak hp. Keep in mind hp is not stackable. A lot of people seem to have this misconception. If the tuner says you should expect 7-10hp gains, don't expect 7-10 peak gains. You'll probably see 2-3 peek gains but you'll see hp distributed thoughout the power curve, 1 hear maybe 2 there, so on and so fourth. Personaly I prefer a product like Spoon, Mugen, Backyard, or Top Fuel. All thier products are hard r&d and gain hp throughout the entire powerband not just peak. *Peak hp is nice to brag about but hp dispersed though out the powerband is what wins races!

I hope some of my jiberish helps...lol

Maybe im wrong but the differnence in the midrange looks pretty dang significant on the dyno charts. I'll look again at the plots later but from a preliminary exam it looks to be that you made a lot more torque in the middle of the dynograph
