either the dyno pull was done wrong or you dont have half of what you claim
Maybe that could be it?? Maybe you got taken... Could be a possibility?

I worked with the guy for 2 years before he thought about selling the car. I was familiar with most of the mods he had on it before he put it up for sale. Based on this I'm sure that it's got everything I have listed.

The a/f ratio showed me running 13 in low RPM's, then jumping to 9 through the max power range. The Dyno guys told me that I was running way too rich to make any power. He did have problems hooking up my buddies M3 and getting it to put accurate numbers. Maybe he hooked mine up wrong as well. When running against the M3 I was way ahead until I hit third gear. Maybe it does run way too rich through third gear.

By the way, I dyno'd on a dyno-mite and had it in third gear. I'm thinking about going to a local "performance motors" shop to have him check it over and point me in the right direction. I know he doesn't do a full tune though.

Thanks for the comments so far, keep them coming.
