i suppose it depends on the motor. you might be able to sqeeze more HP out of the 5.3 than the 3.8 idk....mine is advertised at 10-15 hp

other than the power part of it the tune should make your car feel alot more responsive and snappy

what it can do for each engine really depends on mods you have already done.

Squeezing 10-15 HP crank out of a stock engine doesn't seem likely.

If you do mods I can maybe see 10 HP to the crank and about half of that to the wheels maybe 5-7 HP, this is all depending on the mods.

In the end 10-15 HP on a stock motor doesn't seem likely to me.

Yes, it should e the last thing. Because when you get the tune, he will ask you for your mods and tweak the tune to your specific mods, getting the most out of everything.

With Will's tunes, you will feel a lot more pep from your car. The transmission improvements are the best part of the tune, you will be amazed at how much better your car lays down the power with his tranny tweaks.

As far as actual power gained, maybe 7HP, with the right mods...its not a lot. But like I said, its the whole package, including tranny that makes SUCH a difference.

Made sense after I thought about it that both lights were coming on. Because I am assuming the traction control is linked to the cam sensor in some way, I know when you slip the wheels, and trigger traction control, it automatically retards the timing, so it would make sense that they are connected in some way, hence both lights coming on.

So I have high hope that a new $30 sensor fixes both my Service Engine and Service Traction control light. We'll see after I replace the sensor this weekend.

Hey! little late to respond but if you still have the problem I suggest you get a car wash! Ive seen this happen on my 04' Monte and my dads Jeep Comander. When the sensors are dirty they dont work well. Mine get dirty a lot living in vermont, and when ever I get a wash, and a good under cariage wash, the light goes off! If not, you could have a busted sensor, but atleast they are cheap! Hope this helped.

Thanks for the tip. I already got it fixed, it was the camshaft actuator solenoid (at the top of the engine)...had nothing to do with the wheel bearing.

Can make the speed limiter whatever you want... for most people it is set to 255, but if you still want a limiter you can request that I'm sure lol
