Default Mail Order Tune vs. Custom SD Tune?

I recently bought a car with full bolt ons, and a tsp cam. The car has a TSP mail order tune on it. I am thinking about taking it and getting it tuned with a local tuner that uses EFILive. Aside from an increase in the streetability of the car, will I see any gains from this? The person I bought the car off of made 430 to the rear wheels as the car sits now on the Torquer cam.. Anyone on here go from a mail order tune to a custom EFILive tune?

10 billion hp honestly 430 to the wheels with a cam only setup is a great number...checking out the a/f via some dyno runs on a dyno day wouldnt be a bad idea but I don't know how much extra power your gonna get from that thing as it sits...again if thats the number it put down it sounds like there probably isnt a ton left in the tune power wise.

PERSONALLY I THINK YOU GOT RIPPED even in a m6 car i doubt you made 430 rwhp on a cam only car... hell m6 cars with a ms3 cam and heads and a fast intake usually only fall in the 450 range and thats spinning to 6700


but in any case i had tsp do my tune and im pretty happy.. although i will say mailorder tunes wont really address driveablity issues that well so if your main obvjective from a tune is to give it better street manners i would definately look for a local solution but if your looking for more power i dont think your gonna get a much better tune that tsp can do

there are factory freaks, and it is possible.

proof would be a dyno graph shown

It certainly is possible, we see it all the time with the 01-02 cars.
