Updates! 395 hp and 293 tq on a Dyno Dynamics. The googles (and tuner) said they read pretty low compared to dynojets.

So I had 323 hp on the baseline pull with the stillen tune. It was running at an afr of 9:1 WOT..... Thanks a bunch stillen, that is some horse s***.
I think you need to stop taking a few cases here and there as bible and calm down. There are still cars that are problematic and tuning can be more difficult on some cars. For the number of kits we sell and tune without issues, one or two problems (seem show up on forums more than anything) are not enough to warrant a blanket accusation of us not "fixing" our tunes.

We have been working hard to develop tunes for every ROM code, altitude, latitude, climate, model, and difference in mods, but it takes time. Will we have some that prove to be more difficult, yes. Will we have some that go very smoothly with no issues, yes. If the tune out of the box doesn't work for someone we work hard to fix the issue. However, it can be difficult with the large number of install errors that cause issues, unknown parts installed in conjunction with the supercharger, etc.

I just learned of a car that belonged to a forum member that was having issues that was recently purchased by someone who knew nothing about the car. We got the new owner to send us pictures of the whole kit installed with the bumper off and they never installed the air shield for the intake. We replaced it and all "tuning" issues were suddenly solved. As you can see, it is not always cut and dry simple fixes or always the tunes fault. It always takes time to figure things about because everyone is human.

On that note, you can tune around installer errors, but we don't do this because the kit needs to be installed correctly to function properly and be reliable. If we have a lot of difficulty fixing a tune, more often than not it ends up being some kind of installation error (missing part, pinched wire, etc).
