NOVA+ tune
I just want to give a big 
to Supporting Tuner Ed Hutchings (edcmat-l1). Forum member McLeod and I drove down to Ed's shop Chesapeake, VA from NOVA (about a 3 hour ride) for tunes yesterday. It was an absolutely gorgeous day for a cruise. Ed has a Dynojet in his shop and spent about 3 hours on each car totally dialing things in for us. Prior to this I had a S/D tune that I felt was just a bit quirky with the occasional misfire for no apparent reason.
I can't speak for McLeod other than knowing that his speedo is now correct, but I can say that I am exceptionally pleased with what I ended up with. Ed found about 20 extra ponies and about 20 extra ft/lbs of torque in my car. Enough so that I could feel it in both throttle response and just SOTP. Also, the car shifts much smoother now.
Thanks Ed!
Before and after runs are on the dyno sheet and my mods are in my sig.

Correcting all the problems you had was one thing, but finding the extra ponies from an experienced tuner that much better. Like everyones says, Its all in the tune. Lets see if McLeods tuning issues got fixed as well. If Ed fixed his bucking and surging, he has the same set up as me and I may have to make a raod trip.
I love the way your AFR is flat line.
