a basic dyno run will always usually include a a/f ratio check and will adjust if necessary but thats about all they do

Provided he has an adjustable one already.

When I dynoed my car we adjusted my timing. I went from 18* to 14* and gained 4rwhp.

i've never been to a place where during a normal dyno run they monitor a/f ratio. every one i've been on, other than a tune, just straps the car on and goes.

im actualy worried about installing that intake, i think i need some type of egr adapter and i havnt found a great write up on how to install it yet, like what vacume lines go where, so im still debating on what to do with that.

and would the fule pressure regulator be worth it yet? i was reading about it and it says that maf, tb and exahst upgrades could benifit from it but a cai also clanes 20hp so i dont know what to believe.
