what is his situation with mods? And was it a standard chip, or a fully customised setup on a rolling road?

What were his fuelling figures?

After my exhaust system and ITG maxogen I was running dangerously lean fuelling after 5,000rpm which would have damaged my engine had I not had the rr programmed piggyback ECU. I was really disappointed having spent nearly £500 on it and seeing no more than about 2bhp but after 2 years and having gone further with cams and pulleys I can now see that it's much more than about power

11 dyno runs were taken to get to the final map, the graphs show the differences and the fuelling was adjusted as you rightly said gets lean at the top end. For the record I am an engineer therefore took this very seriously and if neither of us was not happy I would not be charged.
