just did GIAC on mine very pleased. Would do other mods first, then round it out with the tune. Did mine all at once. Dyno in a few weeks, feels much stronger than stock. I tried to match intake and exhaust mods.

Doesn't really mean anything. It could be that other companies got it "right" the first time with no room for further improvement. Or not, but I'd be curious if Evom releases a log of improvements for each subsequent release they've done.

Yes should be fun, I have no idea with these cars. You have headers and Evoms intake vs my IPD. Those 19 inch rims may seal the deal though

Hey flybye, Fabspeed and EVOMSit are partners and we use all their tuning on our products and cars, its purely amazing. PM me if you have any questions and for special member pricing. EVOMSit is seriously running the Software world, so I wouldn't go with anything else.
Thanks,

Stupid question time...thx for your help

Okay, I'm looking at this graph and see the big improvements at over 4500 rpms. However, what is the deal around 2500 rpms? It looks as if you lose power up until the 4000 mark. Is this correct? I don't want to lose anymore lower end power just to get high rev power. I already lost some with my modified PSE exhaust. Thanks for any help.

I don't understand how you can get any programming improvement from a N/A power system. Someone please explain.

I don't think you can get A LOT, however, current ECU's are made to meet emissions guidelines that often use more fuel, run engines too hot, etc....all in the name of lower pollutants/emissions. Just getting rid of these govt mandated items will increase performance and often fuel use too.
