id say a good tune is worth at around 15-20 with all bolt ons. youll notice it more across the rpm range and not a huge amount at peak but you should notice a difference.

It's def. worth it. Can't say how much you will gain though, as this depends on how good your stock tune was. I picked up 32 rwhp and 26 tq from my tune, but my stock tune sucked!

Id sat you would probably be at 350+ horse and 360+ tourque

That's with you current dyno numbers in your sig. It doesn't hurt any. Your probably lean right now too.

your numbers will vary a little you might notice a little more torque down low and the dyno will read a few hp less but no big deal, track times are more important then dyno numbers.

if your **** is off before the tune then all you will pick up is the power that you were losing. I picked up 0 HP off a tune when i had boltons only, thats because my **** wasnt running bad in the first place.

I only gained 2rwhp from a dynotune.

My car was in pretty good running condition with just boltons. I'd definately runs much smoother though!

Any reason you're driving down to Houston for a tune? Why not stop by LG Motorsports?
