Tick Performance exaggerated performance claims

He started the same thread over at tech and with about the same replies. It was pointed out (which I missed looking at the sheet) the dyno is a Mustang and we don't know if the converter was locked. On a DynoJet with the converter locked he'd be close to the advertised gains. Add long tubes and a decent muffler it may exceed advertised.

Was this thing previously modified?
Looking at the graph, you have a 4.8 that's not spinning up much at all and making 278 at the wheels
I have a 5.3 with a complete exhaust that was spun up (albeit with a smaller cam) and it makes 302
So you're telling me that you're unhappy when you have a smaller motor with more restriction making a mere 24hp less?
The more I think on this and look at what you've provided; I don't think there is anything missing here. Some tune clean up needs to happen for sure, but as far as hard parts go, I think she is making what she can make until you open her up some more and give her more RPM to work with. I am also wondering if the "small gains" were because this thing had a cam in it in the first place

I have not messed with EOIT, I have mentioned it to my tuner and he has told me several times to "just bring it by" and well... no excuses, I haven't taken it by lmao. It works so well, its hard to justify changing it up
