Sorry......
It was only near 12.8 for a few 100 rpm so I think a tune would help. I am trying to understand what sae means over std but even if I am really at 325 whp thats still good eneough for me!! Ill have to fix my sig.

The CF up in the right hand corner. Stands for correction factor. There's 5 different ones, I believe. SAE is the most conservative. Stands for Society of Automotive Engineers.
Dont exactly know how they come up with the different CFs, but I do know that SAE is the most conservative. We use CF:SAE and set the smoothing on 5. MOST dynojet operators use SAE. Some use standard, just cause it shows a little better.
Your fuel looks a little leaner than a normal factory tune. They are usually dead on 11.3:1 or there abouts. Yours being a little over 12:1 is some of the power increase. The intake and supporting mods have thrown the MAF off a little bit. No biggy. A little more tweaking and get it close to 13:1 and you'll see some improvements. 5,8, maybe 10 hp
