Throw it on the dyno for a couple runs. With your setup, probably should be around 360-375.
If any lower, you should be able to benefit from a dyno tune, since you have one available.JMHO

Another thing, most people only look at peak numbers. What if the a/f ratio comes back inline on the top end and power is where it should be. You could still pick up alot of midrange power and torque. We dyno tuned my friends stroker mustang, its a/f was below 10:1 until 5000 rpms so peak numbers were ok. It gained 30 ft/lbs of torque across a range of nearly 2000 rpms. That WILL make a difference at the track. Also, drivability. Your car could run fine WOT, have a near perfect a/f ratio and next to perfect timing. However, it could run like poo. All those things are what you are paying for and what makes a dyno tune worthwhile.

Honestly.. mail tunners cant beat a dyno tune.. not because they dont know, but just because they are not there.. they tune blindly.. and they resource themselves with tunning files that they make from dynotunning so there shouldn't be much difference, but even still, no 2 cars are the same nor will they react the same way.
But I have gained on 2 local cars that had a bryan tune over 24rwhp on the lowest... does that mean bryan doesn't know how to tune? NO! it just means that bryan is not here to see knock, is not here to feel the ambient temp or to see what the car is doing.. if you send him during 20 days 20 different logs he might get it where it should be, but being on a dyno is much more easier, but how much hassle would it be to do that???
Get the dyno.. you should start with the mail order tunning since it will be the PERFECT base tune to start
