Just a quick survey on people that have had their car tuned.

What kind of gains did you see from the tune alone? I recently have been talking to a couple people about my tune and my dissapointment with it, and it made me wonder what kind of gains people got from just tuning their car. I only got 7hp from the gain, and considering he boasted 20-30, i was a little surprised. So I am wondering what the average gain for just a tune would be.

 

It all depends how conservative you go or how crazy you want it.

 

average gain is 10~15 whp on the milder side. you can pull out 20~25 whp if you are pushing the car hard

 

Most boxed tunes run really rich to be safe. The more you correct the afr, the more safe power you will get. Going further is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing, or don't have appropriate safety mods, but can yield higher gains.

 

depends on mods really. and how agressive the tuner is.

mine can range from -30 {messing with someone} or pulling 45 hp out of my ass

 

and the gas and the air and the car itself etc etc.

is the car running well besides?

 

Beings how this guy is my t00ner, it has been my biggest gain by FAR!

 

and im looking forward for the 25whp gain

 

likewise..

 

i know im probably gonna get flamed for asking this but it is sane to say that even on a stock setup a tune will make a diff.?

 

^^^Yeah man, tuning a stock balt will give you gains.


Yeah, I told the tuner to go relatively conservative, but still go a little aggressive. I was hoping for 15hp..

 

wow.. good to know.. maybe that should be everyones first mod... i mean if im not mistaken, after any "bolt on" or whatever, you could go back in a tweak it a lil bit everytime right?

 

you change your mind about selling the car?

I need to bug RAFLYER again for a tune. Rob is the man when it comes to tuning. I might go wideband first though.

10-15 whp is a pretty big gain

 

does anyone have an idea of the gains after a safe tune with stage 2

 

probably 10-20hp depending on how agressive you are.
the S2 tune is very conservative.

 

thanx for such a quik response, now i just gotta find a tuner...oh and sorry for the thread jack
