Pretty much everybody that I saw with the stock whipple tune had the same issue and was in the same range. Whipple said they had the speed limiter off when they did their dyno run, so the advertised numbers aren't obtainable unless they turn it off.

Have you checked your plugs lately? Maybe the dealership can hook their equipment up and see if there are any issues. That's how I found out about my plugs being bad.
gotcha. i had the speed limiter when i was on the dyno too. they said that they would try it in 2nd instead of 3rd gear. i originally thought that being in any other gear besides the 1:1 gear would yield inaccurate results, but ive since heard that it doesnt matter...

once i get my tune im going to try to identify and address the CEL's one at a time. the plugs could be one issue...

The shifts felt good from stock. They are pretty firm now with the extra power now though. I don't recall Whipple adjusting the shift firmness though, so I wonder if the truck has started doing that over time.

Aside from swapping out the gears, I haven't done any other tranny/driveline mods.

the thought of 400 ish RWHP actually kinda scares me. I do enough stupid things in my truck right now. Thats why I went and bought my Mustang. Truck was killin me with the gas mileage and my lead foot.
