Personally I had a programmer and was not impressed, I could feel very little difference. About 2 weeks ago I went and had my car dynoed and it was a night and day difference IMO. But I did not get it tuned until I had mods in sig. ( basically full bolt ons minus pulley). IF I were you I would mod the car as far as you want to and get a dyno tune, Progammers not really worth the $ IMO trust me been there done that!

Also I wanted to get a dyno tune for this reason! Rich from what I've read is ok but lean is hard on the motor. I found out when I had my car tuned I was running a little lean which made me fell even better about spending the $ to have the car tuned properly.

Wow...thanks guys! I had been considering getting a Predator, but now I'll just get the lifetime dyno tune from my local shop (pay the first time, every mod you do after gets a free tune update).

I did that when I first bought my WS6 and installed the cam. His tune was WAY off. Surged like crazy, stalled, etc. Do it right the first time. Find a good, REAL tuner and head to the dyno!
