Real Numbers

2012 F. TAB's w/ 1.75" baffles. Cerakoted head pipes. Amsoil filter. Topless w/ SE cutouts on lower airbox. Green motor-- tuned just after break-in period. TTS MasterTune and a dyno tech who knew how to use it.

Tuned for "real-world" rideability, NOT max hp/tq numbers.

But..... look at the curves on the chart.

Rides flawlessly. NO popping on decal that I can feel-- not even a little bit.

Looks like your tuner knows his stuff nice smooth transitions.
Do you have the AFR part of that chart?
 
Actually numbers don't mean a thing they're a reference at best unless your doing all out 1/4 mile racing. Typically changing to a more flowing intake/exhaust a good dyno tuner will find an extra 6 - 8 HP and 2 - 3 ft/lbs torque. But from what I've experienced most tuners just go for WOT HP numbers and leave you with crap for ridability performance in the lower RPM's. If you got a snappy response from the throttle at all RPM's ranges and it doesn't pop, fart or bog. Leave it alone and just ride it.
