Dyno's are a tool for measuring and can not always simulate what you experience on the road under WOT.

There excellent tools when used properly, How ever sometimes you just have to get out under the exact conditions and replicate whats happening.
I'll mention that, pinging. Actually I heard it under normal driving the other day. I hope it doesn't get worse.

I was looking at Royal Purple fuel injector cleaner, I like that stuff seems to work well and has good reviews.

He originally did a dyno and road tune. After that he has done road tunes with me driving. He's a good guy. I'll also mention that about me driving and him going through HPTuners. I think a road tune will be more beneficial and will suggest it though he's on the ball with this stuff and will want t gout anyway.

Thanks again

150 out the door, Seriously?
Do they have later model years?
Hmm, that may be worth a trip.

Its around corner from my job i pulled mine in two or three days on lunch breaks....1st day scoping it out getting plan of attack on it, second unbolting everything i could and pulling the xmember and damn near having engine and trans fall on top of me and last say about 10-15 minutes of converter and bellhousing bolts, being out if a van i couldnt really use the dipstick and it doesnt havevthe right trans cable bracket but thats minor....biggest thing is making sure they have one, and trying to catch one of their 40 or 50% off sales like i did... Got two trannies for like $160, the 4wd is for parts only reason i grabbed it ws because it was out already and 4wd but case is and was trashed, 2wd i grabbed to build
