Default Tuning - No increase?

So i have the following mods: Stillen G2 intakes, FI res test pipes and invidia gemini CAT back exhaust. I went to get tuning done on recommendation from a friend and after about 7 hours worth of a wasted Saturday he was unable to make any power at all. He called Uprev and they told him "it's possible to not make power on these cars. It's pretty much hit and miss."

The car is running rich (i can smell it and the readings from the o2's confirmed that) which means i'm losing power to begin with just based on that alone yet he couldnt produce any gains?

My baseline with mods (no tuning) was 306whp. I'm expecting to be in the 320's with tuning or at least close to it. Am I losing my mind or shouldn't I be making some power after tuning???

P.S. now i need to go somewhere else to get tuning done an hope to make power without wasting my money.
