There is a difference between a safe tune and a power robbing tune.

You should try 95hp lower. Lots of guys are dynoing in the
305 rwhp range. If you get an L99 that's dynoing around 320 rwhp, you should consider yourself lucky. Around 320 - 330 rwhp is where a 400hp automatic should be dynoing.

Automatics (hp) are usually calculated at a .20 loss.

It should make a ton of power. Jeremy said with just exhaust and tuning I'd probably see 50hp.

And Prochargers make big HP.

AFR
The Air fuel ratio is the most common reference term used for mixtures in internal combustion engines. It is the ratio between the mass of air and the mass of fuel in the fuel-air mix at any given moment.

For pure octaneOctane
Octane is a straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula CH36CH3.Octane has 18 structural isomers:* Octane ...
the stoichiometric mixture is approximately 14.7:1 or of 1.00 exactly.

In Naturally Aspirated engines powered by octane, maximum power is frequently reached at AFRs ranging from 12.5 - 13.3:1 or of 0.85 - 0.901.

It just doesnt make sense that GM would do this.
#1. killing power.
#2. wasting fuel/fuel economy. (not to mention emmisions being higher)
They have to know it's a jacked up tune, they need to fix it so people with the A6 can keep their warranties intact.

Just my .02 cents

also Brian Herter, pcmforless.com, I know he travels, L99 327 HP, 342 Torque up from 305/300.
HP was as high as 332 on last run, but torque was a little lower.
Air fuel stock was 11 to 1, tuned 13 to 1.

It sounds like GM needs to reflash most all of the L99 computers

I might be interested in an undectable tune though. I just don't know how true they are to undetectable.

Didn't say YOU lied. But perhaps someone lied to you. I wouldn't trust it. If it's true, I wouldn't be so sure of the tune.
