Actually, it looks like standard knock retard to me, not a gain. That's not necessarily a tune problem, could have been false knock for whatever reason.

Check out mikemorrismotorsports.com. He has extensive experience porting throttle bodies and working with air flow experts. He reports
4- 5 RWHP gained for his porting. He seems to be in line with most other realistic claims that I have observed.

That’s about what I got in addition to improved throttle response & a very slight increase in mpg

Maybe IPS can chime in and tell us why his stock dyno graph is so weird. They have been involved in some great builds and this should be a piece of cake for them. Both the hp and tq curves are crazy. His peak gain is fine. It is the midrange gains that cannot be normalized.
