It didn't have a throttle body before? Thinking some info is missing from this post.

Guess I'm blaming that on selective blindness then.

Wow, impressive numbers. Looking forward to seeing the graphs. Who did the TB porting & was it a custom or canned tune?

throttle body came from JANNETTYRACING and it was tuned on a dyno by a locale shop.

With that jump in torque, the seat o-the-pants meter must feel the difference in before & after! Tuner must know a thing or two on this combination.

How much do you feel is just the gains from the TB alone?

when I spoke to him he said the air/fuel mixtures where way out car was running very rich. He said typically it's not as much as a hp gain with tb as a efficiency gain. He has been tuning cars for 25 plus years. We will see how it is tonight when I get it but either way it gained 50 hp will see torque when I get it.

50 HP peak with nothing but a tune, 91/93 octane, and TB? I'm calling BS on that.

why is that bs like I said dyno sheet will be posted when I go get the car after work. The only thing that is done is a ported throttle body from jannettyracing will post receipt from that also for the non belivers.

There just simply isn't 50 HP to be had at peak HP. What dyno is this done on?
