My setup:
2001 H22A4 w/ M2B4 LSD tranny
Dyno tuned w/ Hondata p28 w/ s300
Full Port-Polished Head with Multi-Angle Valve job
AEM CAI w/ 68mm TB
Euro-R Intake Manifold w/ Hondata Gasket
SuperTech Valvetrain Kit w/ Valves and Dual Valvesprings
Euro-R Camshafts w/ Fidanza CamGears
Exedy Clutch w/ Fidanza 8lbs flywheel
Type-S Pistons (oversize 0.25mm bore)
SMSP 4-2-1 Header (designed to engine specs)
Magnaflow 2.5" Hi-flow Cat
bottlenecked with Mugen Full Cat-back Exhaust (54mm-60mm piping)
Stock Fuel Rail w/ Stock Fuel Injectors (295cc)
Removed A/C
UR SS Pulley Set
From looking at this dyno, do you guys think I should be making more power or does this sound about right? And do you think this is good, bad, or okay tuning?

well from what Ive heard, dynapacks arn't very accurate b/c you have to take the wheels off the car so its an accurate WHP reading. Those #'s seem kinda low I'm running all motor with a crappy DC header and I put down 200 WHP.

maybe your setup is better, care to share?

On any other dyno, I'd say that looks about right. On Church's? It looks a little lower than it could be.
*shrug*
Chruch does seem to have a good reputation as a tuner though.
edit: and for what its worth I'm suprised you got as far as you did with the stock injectors.

i thought it was the other way around?

the tune looks ******* good to me, i mean, it's not about peak hp, it's about area under the curve, and look at how much more torque you make now after 5 grand. must feel pretty ****** awesome

Not always. Church's dynapack in particular is known read pretty high.

hehe ya it's real nice, i just wanted to see if i'm getting the most out of the tune that's all...

It's hard to say considering the fact you didn't post up an A/F chart.
If shawn tuned it... I would say it is a good tuner. He is a very reputable tuner.

Actually, Thomas that works with Shawn tuned my car, which is why I was wondering if I'm getting the most out of this tune since it wasn't tuned by Shawn himself. He didn't give me a print out of the A/F chart but the A/F ratio I believe was around 14.

Too lean.
If you want, pull your calibration and email it to me. I'll take a look over it.

ok, if i can find access to a laptop...or can i pull it off without having the ecu on in the car?
I remember tuning this car. The A/F is almost always tuned between 12.8:1 and 13:1 for all motor street cars depending on where the particular car likes it. I know for fact that I would never tune a car at 14:1 under full throttle (unless it's on our Dynapack 2000 which reads A/F a point leaner than actual, but looking at your chart and from memory yours was tuned on our Dynapack 4000). For your setup the exhaust was a big restriction as reference to the low peak numbers.
Sometimes there's things that need to be addressed prior to dyno tuning, ie; exhaust/intake/tb size. I've dyno tuned quite a few cars and alot of the time it comes down to choice/combination of parts. A SMSP header w/ cat and restrictive exhaust don't mix well. That is an awesome header that's meant to flow, paired with a good exhaust it will make more power.

Hey, thanks for chiming in on this thread. It's always good to get feedback from both the customer and tuner.

Cool, I appreciate you letting me know about the dynapack reading the a/f ratios a lil high...got me worried. But now that you've cleared things up, now I can sleep at night lol. And do you happen to remember if you advanced the intake cam gear to the first mark or the second mark?
I will definitely take your advice and do 2.5" piping all the way once I decide to get new cams.
Thanks Thomas

The dynapack that you were on reads A/F accurately and is our newer one (Dynapack 4000) both read within a 1% hp/tq reading. I would not tune a vehicle that is N/A to 14.0:1 on that particular dynapack, it had to have been 13:1. I can pull up your chart at work this weekend and take another look. Honestly, I can't remember what the settings were on your cams. Sorry I can't be of more help there, but you can just remove your valvecover and check the settings for future reference.
I will try to get back with a sheet at the end of the weekend.

I had tried to get rid of it with the vtec x over, cam timing, timing, but couldn't do too much about it. It's strange but I do feel it has to do with the dynamics of your combinations of parts. Maybe, intake related or exhaust related. I did realize that the torque seems to come back up around 7k rpms, which seems like the euro r IM carries torque up higher than a traditional IM. Bigger cams and a less restrictive exhaust setup should get you into the 230-240 hp range pretty easily.

then i'll have to spend $300 more to get it retuned
...that's the only reason why I haven't fix my bottleneck.
