$500!!!!!!
You have a Intake, and pullies. I only have the intake spacer and a set of mufflers over you and I pulled 285 RWHP and 308 RWTQ.
I tihnk there may be more potential in your tune. Plus $500 is insane for a tune!!!!
They really jack up the prices out there!

Intake , pullies, tune, mufflers ( 2-3 horses at best) just no spacer. Maybe its the lack of humidity here or how lean I was running ( but doesnt leaner = more power?) What kind of dyno did you use? I also found out my right pass wheel is wobbly as well. Its always something.
And no it was a TEST not a tune, 75 bucks for two pulls.

I went out here in NY. Hes a SCT tuner Im not sure of what dyno hes using. I ran with 70 degree weather and low humidity and made those pulls. I assure you that the spacer didnt put my numbers up there like that lol
Generally leaner does mean more power but it kills the engine if you go too lean
I was charged $100 for the first 2 pulls and $25 any additional pull.
With tuning and 4 pulls I walked out of there spending $350.
Usually the mail order tunes are a little off due to your mods.
Your A/F should be 13.0-13.2 across the board

yes there is a point where being too lean drops off power like a brick....and at 16 a/f....youre at it!!!

Hope your not that lean when you hit the "Go Baby Go" switch on your Nitrous!
Good thing you got it tested, sounds like you could use a tune, will they tun for nitrous and n/a for a decent price?

Man I hope they at least used Vaseline at some of those prices. I get a custom dyno tunr with anywhere from 3-5 pulls and have NEVER been charged more than 275.00!!! My guy is top notch. I feel for you that are getting *****. A dyno tune should never be as much as a big mod (4.10s, ect.) Just my opinion.

Most of your best N/A numbers will happen in the 13's. Anything above that you're risking detonation or melting a piston.
We knocked my A/F from 12.20 to 11.6ish tuning my stang and I lost 5hp. I won't miss them 5 very much.
