Yes, that is right. I agree with you on the variations. I too was surprised that it was not more, but then again I wanted a conservative tune from Jerry / Tony at LET / EC. I do know that added mods and the LET / EC tune is stronger in higher speeds and did increase my times at 1/4 run. Going by memory, I believe just the K2 it was 12.4 at 111 or somethig like that and with the added mods and LET / EC it rant 12.14 at 114 or something like that. Even though the runs were done in different years, they were done in the same months. I believe the K2 1/4 runs were in Dec 2006 and the 1/4 runs with the added mods and LET/ EC tune were done Dec 2009. If I can find those time slips, I will post.

X2. Also sounded really good when I met jcjmw last week at the EC event here in Vegas.

So, Kleemann K2: 499 rwhp, 546 rwtq
Same car, +LET/EC tune, VRP 80 mm TB, VRP CF Airtubes, Renntech CF Airbox, Larger HE and pump, Quaife LSD: 507 rwhp, 542 rwtq
Interesting. The last three (HE, pump, LSD) help performance but won't add power. However, I'm a bit surprised that all the other mods amounted to essentially zero additional power output (variations of 1-2% could be several things, and are inconclusive of a measured improvement IMHO).
In the end, sounds like the car's a beast though, and you're happy with it - which is what's important
