But that seems low for your listed mods, mine did 265 on edit alone←that's what I thought a bit low. it was a half assed tune to get me home from brissie in the end. I wanted it done properly but had some intake pipe probs. but still didnt think I would have been running into sring probs at this power. if I have to change them it could be a blessing though ill do the exhaust and pump while im at it and chase even more power.he said because of the rough idle after the power run that he suspected the springs but I have always had a rough idle and I was yet to plumb idle hose back to intake.
