Ryan,
It is true that our cars are running a little rich from the factory, but correcting that in no way will yield a 50hp increase. Maybe 5-10, but not more.

Now there's a bunch of other things that can be tuned to make your car run better, but that is a different story.

As for custom tuning, there are many places that can do it.
I have done it for several board members myself. Take a look here if you're interested:
