Well, then make them buy their own credits (like 50$ for two if I remember right) and charge em to use the module.

But did the responsiveness increase? I think that should be a huge benefit of tuning the car.

What do they do in a dyno tune?

the take off from about 0-30 didn't change a whole lot, if anything its maybe SLOWER because the tires want to burn down a bit easeir than they used to makes it easeir to burn out though. after about 30-40 mph if i'm crusing and then "floor it" it gets a lot more responsive. the guy actually used the HP Tuner, which off the top of my head, and definitly not all it could do, was this

adjust air/fuel ratio, reset shift points, adjust the timing for premium fuel, change the pressure lines on the transmission for when you are crusing and "floor it" it will down shift quicker. it made a bit of difference, and although the hp changes weren't much, it seems to have picked up a bit for getting up over about 50-60 mph as well.

Is it worth it? How much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

it was $350, but the handhelds are about $400 or so ,andi figured this would be better because i could see it on a dyno myself (which i had always wanted to know what it was really putting out). plus, i can come back again anytime and not pay for small changes to the tuning.

usually the power to the wheels is about 20-25% less than at the crank, so for you its probably close to 200 at the wheels.

Yeah I knew the hole 20-25% less thing, but just wanted to see the real number, just because

Duane...do you already have the U-bend delete? If you're going with a high flow cat, It would make sense to get a U-bend delete at the same time. Of course that's money permitting.

As soon as I get more of my Monte paid off, and my contract is settled at work this spring, I think I'm going to get the exhaust done.
