IMO... garbage.
If you need a tune either order one from a sponsor or have a reputatble performance shop handle it specifically for your car. But if your car is basically stock then leave it alone since the stoock tune (IMO) is fine the way it is.

I have a custom tune Diablosport Predator, and it DOES make a differance. No, not a huge diff, like adding 100+ horse to a diesel just by plug'n play, but it does definetely help. I'd say a good, name brand tuner is absolutely worth it, when combined with other mods youre doing. If all you do it buy the tuner, it's still worth it in the long run, since along with the performance options it's also a diagnostic scanner, for your car and others in the same year range. If you ever get a 'check engine' light pop up, all you have to do is plug in your scanner and see if its something stupid like a gas cap or O2 sensor, rather then taking it to a shop and paying $60 just for a code scan.
