hell yeah
sounds like a sweet deal...I've talked to Vince before and he said it would cost like $250 or so shipped. - I'm waiting to get my dp and header before I get the tune. (btw check you mpg at 50mph on flat ground - with my mods I'm gettin 45mpg easy - well that's when I keep my foot out of it

Yea its about 45 mpg between 45 and 50 mph. Make sure you get all your mods before you tune. Get the most out of it. 2.4 mani is one of the best things for these 2.2s. A 7k redline really makes a difference, believe it or not.

7k....seems high..but I'll keep that in mind....so far performance wise I have a 2.5" Magnaflow Highflow Cat, 2.5" custom piping, pulstar pulse plugs and a secret weapon r short ram intake. - It sounds badass...but I'd still love the tune ....how long did it take to do it all?

maybe an hour all together. 6500 is stock redline. With a 2.4 manifold it makes power higher in the rpm range. Shifting up at 7k puts you right in the powerband in the next gear. What year is your car. If its an 05-06 i would say, get some kinda header/dp combo, the 2.4 mani and throttle body. Get that bitch tuned. Totally different car at that point.

Oh...that explains it...sweet deal...did you put it on yourself or have a mechanic do it? again jw....if you had a mechanic do it..you remember roughly how much the labor cost?

myself, the kit comes with instructions. its pretty sraight forward. just clean everything really well when you have the 2.2 manifold out. if/when you do get this DO NOT i repeat DO NOT cut the brake booster line. take the time and have some patience to pull it out and save the white clip. even though is says you can cut it, dont. learn from my buddies mistake.

wow...that doesn't make sense why you would cut that line anyway....but thx for the heads up...it'll be a few months b4 I can get this...but it'll happen...same for the trifecta tune...will happen after the dp/header/mani are all added
