What is this "learn down feature" and what does it do?

Lets say you put a intake, exhaust, IC, and charge piping on your car but you havent gotten the thing tuned or the learn down feature removed. You will still only make the stock amount of crank horsepower. You may be able to get to the stock max of hp quicker since you made the cars breathing abilities better but the car will never take advantage of the power gain it could have.

In fact the only way you will see more hp is if you were looking for whp and you got lightweight rims or a lightweight flywheel or drilled slotted rotors. (reduced rotational mass etc...)

Wow, Tom shipped the kit out middle of last week and it was already available for pick-up last night. In case anyone in Ontario is curious, duty charges are $71.94 (GST/PST + $5.00 Customs Handling); all factored in (and estimating the exchange rate) ordering this through CED saved me damned near 50% off the Canadian retail (ie. ~$625) when taxes are factored in in Ontario ! No brainer where to order it from imo.

So if I were to have already installed CAI, IC, Hot side charge piping, Catless downpipe and Larger O.d catback exhausted and purchased the tune would it take advantage of those bolt ons or limit to what the tune originaly makes as far as hp trq?

it will not learn down if you install "stage 1" it will learn the gains.

I got mine in the mail yesterday!

I couldn't ask for better service, wow! Shipped last Wednesday, and i got it the following Monday, and i think all the Canadians know how long some things take to get to us up north! Great service, and a great price!

Ps. I love the shirt too! :P

Thanks for the product guys, hope to do business again!

coming from me (400hp car in the garage) i can honestly say.........you will instantly know you have more power, every gear feels like it wants to go.

now 3rd gear rolls happen a bit quicker.
my poor rev limiter the 1st time i attempt a NLS.
