tunedbyfrost mail order tune Just thought I'd throw some good info out on the net for people looking in to this.
I have an automatic 2001 Pontiac Trans Am with 150K miles on it. It has an air lid, ported throttle body, catback exhaust, and 4.10 gears... That is it. Still has factory manifolds and cats on it. I've had it for about 6 years now.
It consistently ran 13.1@106mph
I decided a couple of weeks ago to give Tuned By Frost dot com a try, I mean for 125 bucks you can't really go wrong. I was amazed by the turnaround, I live in Oklahoma and sent the computer out on a tuesday, and got it back the following monday. I installed it, and drove it about 100 miles the first day and I could really tell a difference in the transmission and the smoothness of the power. So I can say it was worth it just by this alone... Until I went to the track yesterday... I figured after the Tune it might run a 12.80-12.90... Well I made my first pass and here is the timeslip...
Needless to say I was dumbfounded... I thought they had given me the wrong timeslip, so I ran again and ran the same time. So I would say the results speak for themselves!
Best 125 dollars I've ever spent on a car!

I'm just as surprised. But I will tell you a 60' makes or breaks a 1/4 mile time. for every 1/10 in the 60' you normally gain 2/10's in the 1/4. The temperature was 66 degrees as well. Perfect weather and DA for making some good passes.

Yep! Steve found 16 rear wheel HP and 20 ft lbs on my stock 98 last week! Not to mention how much better my drive ability and tip in off throttle is now....
FROST is the man!

Quick question:
I have a 1999 TA with:
Volant CAI
Ported/Polished TB
LT/ORY, no cats
E cutout
Magnaflow catback
A4, 3:23....thats it.
How much HP could I expect to free up with one of this mail tunes?

I don't get into the HP guessing arena when I can help it. You get a lot more than just a few HP with a mail order calibration. There are some further details here: http://www.tunedbyfrost.com/products_m03.htm
