About the tuning, I agree that if the engine needs re-calibrication then it is needed. The same if the AFRs are out of the factory specs. Otherwise, I am sorry but I am too sensitive with this kind of "business".
I don't think there is a better person to clarify the magic of ECU tuning than this one:

Doesn't matter who came up with the numbers they are what they are and any number of conspiracy theories can be thrown at them but they are official. Maybe the original was 202 and they rolled it back? I hate the numbers game when things get twisted one way or the other to try and prove a case.
The tuning was my whole point all along and the real reason I posted here anyway. Adding some parts at random and hoping for the same or better results without doing the whole thing is wasting time and money. Adding just the header from a whole new system that gave an OFFICIAL 5 HP gain is like taking one piece of a one hundred piece puzzle, placing on a table and expecting to see the picture from the box. It just isn't going to happen.
I am truly at a loss on how you think adding one slightly changed part is going to get you any gains without tuning to take advantage of those minor changes.
