Yeah its werid how the Hp i gained is the Tq i lost.
Does anyone know what else i can do to fix my A/F. My car ran real rich for some reason. Just some more info i was running 92Octane. and yes i had the fans on my car this time. Im also getting a SVT T/B(once i get my bonus check) and the Bat pipe and a High flow cat. will any of these mods give me back the Tq i lost or even help fix my A/f.

Those are very strong ATX numbers. If you weren't running so rich, you would've had an easy 145+ hp

Holy smokes that's rich!
Get the S-AFC and go back to the dyno. Take away fuel anywhere from 4500 and up. Looks like you're running lean anything below 4500 so add fuel there.

He's probably not running lean there under WOT. He was obviously hitting open loop for a second as he got to the RPM he wanted to start his dyno at and was cruising. The ratio will go towards Stoichiometric at this point until he stepped on it again. Thats why it does the sudden drop.
I would re-dyno without the chip and see if your gains were only from a good intake cleaning, plugs and wires. Maybe the chip is richening the AF too much.

Frank, I am really happy with those numbers myself but my goal is to hit 150hp with simple bolt ons. I think i will get it by the end of summer. John, I will be looking into getting the S-AFC very soon just have to save up some money right now. Im hopeing that the S-AFC will help a lot. My car seems at always run rich for some reason. Tom, I really cant see the wires and plugs and cleaning giveing me 7hp. reason being i only have 26k on my car. When we took everything apart it really wasnt all that dirty. I could be wrong though. The reason i got the chip was because at my last dyno i ran real rich and i thought by getting the chip that it would fix that, But i guess it made it worse. Next time i go i will take one run with the chip and one without. Thanks everyone for your help.

I Dom....
If you open up your exhaust, your overall mixture will begin to lean out. That is what happened to me when I did my work on my car. First I was running rich at the top with the stock exhaust, then I dropped the pipes to see what would happen. Because the exhaust was restrictive I wasn't getting enough air into the engine. Once the pipes were down, I was starting to get a tad lean on the top end, and I made 15 more HP. Needless to say I ran out a week later and did exhaust work. Much more top end when I got it done.

Like I said good numbers. You can definitley feel it now. I'm surprised Joe hasn't posted here with his 114HP.

Tom I hate to keep bugging you but you say free up my Exhaust more. I honestly thought my exhaust was a good one, haveing a dynomax Ultraflow in place of the res and a Magnaflow in the rear. Not unless you mean like a Y-pipe. Also after Sz im gonna get a highflow cat(vibrant one) going to an Oval Maganflow(from Aussy) Then going to dual str8 pipes out the back. Would this be a better setup.

Well, I have almost the same mods as you with the of addition of MSDS headers/y. I put down 151.5 last summer without a chip. So, I'd say you need to start looking cat-forward. Either go with MSDS headers (ideal, but a ***** to install with an ATX), or gutted precats and an SHO-shop y-pipe.

Hey Dom, although free flowing muffler will help with airflow, why not replace your stock piping? I'm not sure what stock piping is (2"?) but certainly replacing it with larger diameter piping will free up the exhaust more.
