As for a tune only giving 10HP...unless timing can't be modified that has to be inaccurate. Adding only 1 degree would make more of a difference than that.

A couple threads regarding how much people get with a tune:

Uprev Tuned at Z1, results inside :)

My dyno results

Went to Uprev. Here's my results

There are many more like that if you search in the tuning section. My point is people don't get much hp out of a tune on this car. What a tune helps with is better usable power, corrects the afr, and gives it better feedback when you mash in the pedal. IF you go to an uprev tuner, they will most likely say you will gain between 6-15 hp. That number will depend on multiple factors of course.
