Bottom line is you woudnt be happy no matter what cause the car didnt make the power.It happens alot.
If it would have made 430 that night you wouldnt have said anything about the problems...you would have brought the car back to Sean and let him fix what ever you thought was wrong.

i'm pretty sure with 430 and an oil leak, and car that dies at stop lights i'd still want to get that fixed.
its a shop you don't work for anymore why are you so concerned with it.
yeah i probably would take it back to that shop if i didn't hear a tantrom over the dyno day where the shop owner said something about people just walking in expecting to get **** done.. i'd scheduled that day.. and every other time i went up there.
it was that 'service' not just the issues with the car that made me decide not to use that shop anymore.

Let me clarify something for you right quick...
Anytime you install different power making mods, a car needs to be tweeked and fine tuned and everything has to work together....The graph from LG you show us in this post is something that LG has done time and time again and is well put together...I dont care for LG's stuff much b/c its way over priced but he does do his homework and R&D.
If things dont match you wont see the normal power and be down like you are.

Then went back to LG for some reason or another, be it more power (or to see more on Lous dyno) or drivability etc. Between Sean's partial tune or whatever it was, to LGs baseline there was a 14rwhp difference, with no difference in tuning, so I am told.
The whole tuning thing makes me go..

Sorry but thats just BS, **** one time I got there at 9:30 (my scheduled appointment) and they didnt show up until 11 and then I stayed until 8pm before they even got my car on the dyno!!! Mind you a fuel pump does require alot of time to install on a 98 but jeez not all freakin day!!! Mellow has been on there dyno over 40 times trying to get his issues solved with his 226/226 cam, it shut off when the air was turned on, hard starts, just stupid ****. Now mind you this was all done at no charge but damn I guess you get what U pay for 
Now mellow went to another shop and his car is running like a Champ, he can turn the AC on with no problems and in the morning he can crank it up and go. Im not gonna name the shop cause they can still get there act together and do good work like they have in the past, but something needs to change, like a freakin appointment book!!!!

Oh yea, the more welds you have in you exhaust (connections) the more HP you will loose due to turbalance. Insom has a tone of welds and some aint to clean and his freakin Cutouts are right underneath his tranny, his tranny has black marks from the exhaust fumes hitting it, 21st Century told Kirk he will fry his tranny if he runs with them opened, and yes a tranny does get hot but with cutout blowing hot fumes onto the casing you think thats OK? no freakin way, the fluid is getting to the boiling point if it blows on it long enough trashing his tranny.
