Also, I asked about needing to up my alternator since my Amplifiers draw quite a bit of current & the two fans on the intercooler have 30 Amp fuses on them. Jay doesn’t think there’s a need up upgrade the alternator.

Scotty, Keely told me you called. (She's a real sweetheart so be nice! LOL )
The weather does indeed "suck". I'm looking at a couple inches of icey slushy, salty, muddy CRAP in our parking lot and roads. What was supposed to be a rainstorm with a *chance* we would get some wet snow at the end turned into rain turning into freezing rain, followed by sleet and then about 3-4 inches of snow. So we have this multilayered slop still hanging around. (Did I mention it was *2* degrees Monday morning?
)
As for Skykings dyno runs - great news on the tuning front, I was able to revise the tune and gain about 20 hp and 15 ft lbs in the midrange and smoothout a lot of the "dip" you get before the big cam comes on.
The problem we had is the dyno calibration was off for final numbers. The back to back runs were accurate and everything was working fine, it's just the final number was lower than it should have been. (They dyno uses a "base reference" and calculates from there so if the reference is off the number is either inflated or deflated) Unless you believe that a 2ZZGE with 8lbs of boost makes 174 hp to the wheels.
It was a good day for tuning, but a bad one for bragging rights. LOL
I'm trying to make another appointment for Skykings car but I fear his kindness is wearing thin and he wants his car. So, we may have to use another example for final numbers.
To give you an idea how it's running here's a little tease.

If you pay attention you will see the car sideways in 1st and kick out in 2nd as well after the shift.
Not bad for 6 lbs of boost through a cat with a 2.5 inch exhaust you can hear blowing air like a vacuum cleaner! Nice clean power as well.
