A tune is not the same all across the board. Last client had a tune and it turned out to be just the revert limiter raised and the boost That's not a tune.

A friend got a tune and said he feels that the car has lost some of its torque at 2800 rpm...

Don't know what tune your friend has but 2800 rpm is explosive in my car, I have Kevin's UMW tune.

A tune from a REPUTABLE tuner will open up the full technical capabilities of what is already a brilliant engine...... more torque across the curve, definitely more hp, better driveability (hopefully), good AFRs, good loading, etc

I stress from a good tuner... and there are many here on 6speedonline.com
