Default 05 VORTEC OWNERS

Question I have a Vortec V2 H.O. system for my 2005 gt. The problem I'm experiencing is the tune falls on its face after tunning on the dyno. Example: Installed at 11.9a/f @ 442rwhp...cool! One week later to check for leaks, problems, dyno, etc. Dyno: 10.2a/f @ 409rwhp... wow, rich. Dialed back in at 11.9/442...ok cool.

That was 1/11/06. Now, today I dyno at 9 something a/f @ 347rwhp! It was so rich it droped off my print out scale. What the hell!!! They did lean it out again to 11.9a/f but i'm only at 413rwhp now. [:@]
Is this just a bad tune from diablo/vortec? Any advice please!!!

Thanks
Mauiboy

Not sure it can be blamed on Diablo if it is being readjusted by someone at the dyno.

Might be completely off base here especially considering that I have not seen a Vortech in person. But is there any change/rearrangement/addition in any way to vaccuum lines. Specifically the line going to the fuel pressure regulator. I have seen ( first hand unfortunately ) installers connect the vac line for the fuel pressure regulator to the brake booster vaccuum line instead of the manifold and it cause strangeness.
