no its annoying if you posted with a topic header like: "I got the westers tune" , or "I just bought a new tune" something to that affect that makes ppl think oh you've already got it done, & have results.... p.s. congrats let us know

i dont know why the 5 speeds dont feel that big of a difference... maybe you guys are shifting too early? i mean i dont even floor it from a stop, if i just hold my food down it will go up to 7000 rpm before shifting.

hmm i dont know if when they change the redline, if the light is supposed to change with it, because the light comes on the same time it always has, and even if i shift before 7000, i should still be able to feel that difference up until i shift

too take full advantage of any tune you must use it in combination with other mods. CAI, Header, Exhaust, Cams...You get the idea.

Yes I see u have a CAI but that might not be enough to take full advantage of the new tune just yet.

to take advantage of a tune you need to be on a dyno

I don't know how you guys feel but I know in other car communities generic tunes are looked down upon.

Theres basicly a point where all tunes are going to be about the same, i wouldnt rack yourself over who will get you the best numbers from a mail order, look at someone local who will do a real life dyno tune for you and call it a day...

theres lots of delays and retarding in the stock tune. JUST removing those alone will give you tons of more fun-play-happy-stuff stock. in fact, the first mod should be a tune.

If you looked at our order form you wouldn't think it was generic. We as dealers convey to Lyndon what your looking for .If your not completely satisfied then we generally drive your car or you drive it and log the all of the data from the drive and froward it to him he then will modify the tune based on your wants and the reality of what can be had.

We do develop our tunes on the dyno & the street . I wouldn't call it generic by any means .
