For those that have had their car tuned..
Just a quick survey on people that have had their car tuned.
What kind of gains did you see from the tune alone? I recently have been talking to a couple people about my tune and my dissapointment with it, and it made me wonder what kind of gains people got from just tuning their car. I only got 7hp from the gain, and considering he boasted 20-30, i was a little surprised. So I am wondering what the average gain for just a tune would be.

Most boxed tunes run really rich to be safe. The more you correct the afr, the more safe power you will get. Going further is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing, or don't have appropriate safety mods, but can yield higher gains.

^^^Yeah man, tuning a stock balt will give you gains.
Yeah, I told the tuner to go relatively conservative, but still go a little aggressive. I was hoping for 15hp..
