If your current tune works ok, download it and save the file to look around at.

Return it to stock long enough to save that file. The flash it back to your enhanced tune, if it was better than the stock tune.

Spend some time just comparing the differences. Looking at differences help you understand what people do to the tables to enhance performance (or degrade it <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> ).

Get some EFILive logs of you crusing around town and doing a few WOT runs. When you have that, let us look at 'em and we'll suggest some improvements.

Log:
%TPS, RPMs, VSS, Spark Advance, KR, LTFTs, O2 Banks 1 & 2. If you are blown, we need to look at MAF Freq or MAF g/s and Injector PW to see if you are maxing anything out.

Have fun! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
