so i put new NGK spark plugs in my car and TopGun MAX300 ignition wires, it drove good, i did get 15 psi with a richer mixture but didn't get a good chance to go WOT much because in AUS its been raining and damp for the past week or so

Even though the adjustment on the Link is every 500rpm, any rpm value in-between is interpolated from the adjacent cells. So it is not an issue with the Link not provide the proper signal between cells.
You said it was better with the change of plugs and wires, have you checked your cap and rotor lately?

Burnt/eroded rotor or contacts.
That changing your plugs and wires made it run better, makes me think ignition related. However, I also suggest checking your fuel system as well - I know you have the AFM-Link setup, do you have a WBO2 and knock counter? Else, how are you tuning?

what's a knock counter?
il check the cap in the morning when theres light.
the way i tune, your going to think im stupid though... NBO2 but i aim for the 1 or 2nd green light on the gauge, im looking at WBO2 sensors just looking for the right one, the car is pretty much tuned by the PO (OZ951) im just touching it up now since after the head gasket blew and an intake gasket was gone also.

Well, the head gasket blowing should be a sign that the tuning wasn't spot-on...
WBO2 are quite cheap now - I highly suggest picking one up.
The knock counter is quite cheap and easy to install, check out this thread:

i cannot say the head gasket blew on the tuning, when i removed it, it looked like the original one from 120,000 miles ago. when Wayne had the car he noted the headgasket had an oil leak but wasnt sure so he left it. i might go WBO2 shopping tomorrow, il take a look at the thread and il post back here.
