u think HP tuning on my computer will make a noticeable amount of difference on my stock WS6? Worried about if it messes up things, but quite confident on the most part. What do yall think?How much hp and torque is in my potential?Thanks

on a stock car you can probably squeeze out another 10+ horsepower w/PE tuning (they run rich factory)

The real benefit is when you start modding the car, you can tune it for each mod ...

You'll want to get a wideband also for the WOT PE tuning


As far as being worried about messing things up... don't be... just do small changes... you start to understand what tables do what and when you have to modify them... and of course if you have a question/concern you can always post up here

Every car is different, so there's no definite answer, IMO. You would definitely feel a difference by leaning it out and adjusting the spark tables. Is it an A4 or M6? If it's an A4, you would probably also enjoy having your shift times lowered and line pressure slightly increased. Then there's speed density, my new found friend. I can tune your car if you'd like. PM if you're interested. You can PM marine7891 and ask if he felt any difference on his stock car. I did his and Brian2006's cars last week. If anything, you can look at it this way. These cars run fat as Mother Love's *** from the factory. The money spent tuning it would be gained back in gas savings.

I have an M6, my buddy BBadWS6 "Chris" goes to school with me and is going to tune it with HP Racing tuning. I have a polished stock TB, Fernco Mod, and a Muffler. I hope It makes a difference, let me know what i should adjust and what to.
