Default amazing power gains from a diff tuner

Hey guys, just wondering I just added a smaller supercharger pulley and the car was running really lean causing driveability problems. I took it to a place right near my house (thank God) called pandes performance. The Pulley was only making two more pounds of boost, but the guy unlocked a98 hp over my last tune. Im stunned i mean i was making 386 and i was running 12.5's but now im at 484, my question is how could he have done this considering that he dropped the air fuel at WOT to 9-1 where it was at 10-1 with the old tune and only two more pounds of boost? Im happy with the results it just doesnt add up. oh and that was on a mustang dyno so im losing a lil power over dynojet numbers.

Richen it up a bit in the fuel tables, adjust the timing at the spark tables (not just by turning the dizzy), add a couple more PSO of boost, make sure hte belt is nice and tight, and there you go.
