P0600 is "Serial Communication Link"
P2105 is "Throttle Actuator Control System - Forced Engine Shutdown"

Your tune seems messed up indeed. The power and torque curves are both horribly bad (compare to other posted dyno graphs, your's is waaaaaay off from the typical shape, where torque peaks around 5500 and slopes down just a little, and power increases but usually does not drop off at higher rpms. Something's wrong.

+1 on the shorties being little to no help.

Fresh spark plugs will get you better numbers, as well as a tune for 91.
And if Greg told you you should be getting better numbers then you should be getting better numbers, he knows what he is talking about. Dyno-tuning (and the dyno-tuning prices) for your mods shouldn't be necessary, a mail order should be fine, but they will get you the best numbers and maybe flush out some contributors to your lower than expected numbers.

Yeah dude just get a real email tune from brenspeed or AM, forget the local tuner guy. If you still have the stock plugs in there, change them out. Follow the TSB too.

Contact Brenspeed or AM and tell them this, have them email a tune for you and try it out. The difference will most likely be night and day. The power drop isn't normal at high rpms and it should fix the codes popping up.

Except for the fact that both vendors are active on this forum...


I'm sure there was a legitimate reason to scare Bama away. Why else would they turn down the business?
