Good Morning all, gonna hit 90 here today. Very hot and sticky for us! Oh well, we'll take the good with the bad! Kinda like politicians!
A quick question if you don't mind. From anyone's personal experience, what is the benefit to getting your car dyno tuned? I'm having a hard time getting an appointment to have mine done and was wondering if it's really worth all the effort.
Have a great day, stay cool!

Supposed to get hot here too! Brian, yes it is very worth it with your headers, Borla and intake. I can pretty much gurantee you have 20-30 HP sitting on the tune.
Bring it here, I will get it done for you.

Mornin' all. Somewhat short week for me...I have jury duty on Friday (let's hope I get picked so I don't have to deal with coming to work for a half day).

I don't think Steve da Wrench saw your question, otherwise he would have answered. I'll bring it to his attention.

Brian, it is most definatly worth it. With all of the mods you have, you most likely will be running lean, and should add some more fuel (if it is lean) so you dont have a problem. You can then add more timing, and wallllaaaa! More power! Go do it, you will like it and have a peace of mind.
