Correct. I stated already in my post where I am selling the CAIs that we could not get the tune right with the AAM in R-mode.

@cdoxp800: afaik with 2.75'' intakes MAF scaling is apparently necessary.

Yeah I saw that... What I got from all this is the tuner isn't very good. 1. He didn't change the cold map. 2. Can't or doesn't scale the MAF right (I tune and this is very easy). 3. Needs to call other people for help for something everyone knows how to do. 4. Dyno's in the wrong setting (PS. You're making about 4% less than what the graph shows). I think it was a waste going to 2.75" pipes when you're NA making barely 300hp to begin with which the stock size is more than capable of handling, so I'm in to see if this tune holds together and the cars fine tomorrow which before didn't seem the case.

I've been with this tune for a month now (I hadn't had time to post about it before and wanted to be sure this time) and the car has been doing great.
Now, about the tuner... well... he is de-facto the Z place to go if you are in NorCal (people from the area correct me if I'm wrong). I am not expert enough to judge his capabilities but I think that he definitely overlooked the fact that I had CAIs that needed a proper tune, although stated by me multiple times that I had 2.75'' pipes. Anyway...
