I just wanted to add my thanks also to Jan,Sharo and Matt. Matt who perfected his record breaking pulley belt replacement on my car twice! (who would have thought that the recommended belt size for the 17% was too long).Sharo who was constantly on the phone to different venders in search for proper belt sizes and taking me to Dinan for the belt. (by the way, the Napa#060535 is the proper belt size for the 17%)and Jan, thank you, my numbers are over 198hp and 181lb/ft. My car is a blast to drive. the driveability and torque are greatly improved.

here is my dyno results with yellow numbers being base and the green after Jan's tune. Notice the run ended at 7100 rpm since the shop owner didn't push it higher, my car goes to about 7300rpm easily and I'm sure the 220 whp would have come in at 225+:

Many thanks to Jan, Sharo, Dr. O, the guys at Goodies, and everyone who came out on Thursday!



The numbers on the chart don't reflect the final numbers, since there wasn't a final pull done after the last map was uploaded.
Peaks:
Baseline: 183.4 whp, 175.6 ft-lb
Pull #1: 190.8 whp, 180.3 ft-lb
Pull #2: 186.9 whp, 178.7 ft-lb

IIRC, Jan modified the map by richening up the AFR below 3500RPM, for a torque gain of approximately 45 ft-lb at the bottom end. I don't recall precisely what was done for the last map that was uploaded, but I was pretty pleased with my results until I saw Sharo's amazing tq curve that doesn't fall off at the high end!
