Down on power
Took off my fast intake and replaced with a stock intake.
On 10psi it made 6XX, now building 16psi it made 500. Both were made on a dynojet. Nothing abnormal in the logs, no excessive blowby or anything.
Spark is good, plenty of fuel, running 11.3 AFR & 13* @ 6500.

So you switched to a fast or switched back to stock? Post isn't very clear
What pulley before and after
What does "fuel" mean? What was used before and after?
What's the rest of the setup?

Fuel is good as in it isn't leaning out or anything.
3.8 pulley before and 3.4 now.
Yep. Stock block/trans/diff ect. Idk why no one hasn't run 4s yet.

Some of it's just diffeeent ways to do the same thing in the end, some of its a lot of tuners really do some halfass stuff collect their money and kick it out the door. It is what it is

The guy who is tuning it has a pretty good reputation and he's gonna do a compression test but other than that we have no idea where else to look.

Aha! That's a pertinent question!
If I understand - and it does take a bit of interpretation - that your boost has all of a sudden jumped from 10 to 16 psi, and it's making much less power, after switching back to the stock intake, then either someone did something silly like leaving a shop rag inside of the intake plenum, or your cats (if you still have those) look like this:
EDIT: just saw that you changed pulleys as well. Not sure if that kind of pulley change would give you 6 psi of boost??

I'm kinda guessing it might be a ringland..? The car is a few hours away from me and I'm waiting to hear back on compression.
