Default Ed Wright Custom Tunning Dyno Results

I had my computer sent in for custom programming....

The car is 98 6 Speed w/ TEA stage 2 heads, Hammer Cam, TTS headers w/cats....Stock MAF

No ls6 intake, no pulleys.....

Before- HPP3 Tunning & GMS MAF
368.6rwhp 367.2rwtq

After-Fastchips & Stock MAF
371.7rwhp 365.2rwtq

The car idles and runs much better, but I basic gained no power

I would get a dyno with wideband o2 readings and send it back to him. 500.00 for 3 hp. Something is wrong.

i don't know how you could expect a tuner to tune your PCM without being next to the car on a dyno with a wideband O2 sensor recording the air/fuel ratio.
every car is different and what worked on one car will not always work on another car, even if the mods are identical.

First off, I'm sure that he expected his car to be tuned correctly because he was told they could do it.

Second, I am dealing with a similar problem on back to back runs with my EW tuned pcm and a stock pcm, I only pick up .1 in et and 2mph. 450 seems like a lot for 20hp.

My car was tuned w/out Ed Wright being there.. You dyno and send him the dyno results and he tune it. My A/F ratio was dead on 13 to 1 on the first try..

I have a few autotap runs that I will send in for a retune and I hope that everything will get resolved. I'm not dissing Ed or his company, and I am sure with the extra info the car will get to where I want it.

Have EW program in mine,not dynoed but been to track 3 times so far.
Ran 12.800 before{last year}have 56 runs this year,similar conditions and 60ft,am down .20 at 1/8 and at the end,best run was 13.001?????
Have a little more MPH one or two but really lost as to why I have slowed down,rev limiter was bumped up 1000 rpm and still run slower.
Tried 4 or 5 diff shift points,doesn't change E.T.
Tried modifying launch,no better.
Program is only change done????
Am bringing stock PCM to track tomorrow,will do a couple of runs and if no better will swap in original,if my times return to normal I will be even more confused!!!!!!

Could be driving or something else has changed. Weight of vehicle or driver. Different tires, etc.. A change in combo maybe..i.e., TB, MAF, etc.. My car only got quicker.. When I first took my car to the track with Ed Wright tuning I had a hard time getting 13.1, but eventually got it down to 12.28 at 116mph with the below mods.. I had to try so many different shift points. I now have a shift light.. No way to be consistent w/out a shift light..

That is the problem I am having at figuring this out.The ONLY change is the program,same everything else as last year,tire/TB/MAF/Headers/Exhaust.
Have Shift light,have over 2000 runs done by me in this car since 95,that is what irks me.
Was hitting rev limiter on dyno last year and HP was still increasing 352@5750 RWHP.
Had ED reprogram,gave all the info neaded.
So figure with program would gain not lose HP.

That seems like the next thing to do.. Ed is good, but he does not always get it right on the first try..

Autotap is a tool we use to look at parameters dealing with the car. It is a program on a laptop.

Went to the track yesterday,got 3 13.20-13.30s,swapped back original PCM ran 3x13.60s.
So problem was not programing,that question answered swapped back and said I was the problem so drive harder.
12.9s and 108+ mph.
Ran record times and mphs on a day that guys with no changes to their cars from last year were running 2-3/10ths slower.
Was just being too nice to the car I guess,will try AutoTap if I get the chance though.
So on day with GOOD air humidity and traction should get down into the 60-70s.
Thank you for the help!!!!!!!!
