DonF, wanna help a brotha out!

Oh and btw, to all those that said "what did you expect" out of my dyno numbers, well......THIS.

Thanks for all the timely responses. Just not sure what to do now and will I start seeing a drop in oil because of this.

The motor obviously wasn't assembled properly which has nothing to do with tuning.

This is a classic example of the fact that tuner's are not mirracle workers. If you bring in a motor with mechanical problems, you will leave disappointed.
