Default Tuning

I recently bought a '97 Formula that has a few mods and I have a question about the tuning.

From what I can tell, the car has the following mods...

Moroso Cold Air
Screen removed from MAF
Cast intake elbow
Air Foil
Long Tubes w/ORY
Catback is a 3" pipe over the axle into a Borla XR1 then dumped
4.10 Gears

It also has a Hypertech Programmer with the Hypertech tune. Would I benefit by taking it back to a stock tune?


Or should I take it back to a stock tune and order a tune? And who would you recommend for the tuning?

Thanks in advance

HPP "tune" is junk. BUT use it to make sure your car is programmed for the size tires you have and your 4.10s.

Mail order tune is sufficient for your mods. PCMforless or MadZ28

If I want to sell the programmer, I have to take the car back to the stock tune, correct? So that it can be used for another vin...

No clue about that, but should not be hard to find out.
