I was like you a few months ago. New to owning a sports car, never heard of a tune. I had a million questions. I was real nervous about trusting some guy I do not even know to mess with my $30000 new cars engine. But I did a little research and decided to go for it.

I have been running a MAP tune since mid March. I have but a good 8k miles on it in that time and I can tell you it makes such a difference in how the car responds across the entire power band. I realized just how much last week when I went back to stock for one day as I was going to take my car to dealership for recall notice. The car was MUCH less responsive. In face I always used to need to put the car in sports mode with the stock tune, but its not needed with the MAP tune.

We will see how things hold up. I drive a lot and plan on keeping this car for quite some time. I average about 22-24k miles a year, so we will see very quickly the long term effects of tuning. Hoping to easily pass 100k with this car, something I have not done before as I usually change cars every 3 years or so. But dont see a better sporty value at the moment.

Good luck and enjoy.

Thanks man, i appreciate the review and I wish you 100k miles trouble free. I do want to point out that this is far from my first sports car or modified car it's actualky just my first "brand new car with warranty" that I will be choosing to modify. Heck for fun below are just a couple of my favorite priors.

With Will getting a dyno tune from Livernois makes me want one too now. LOL. My Unleashed tune is powerful but I am curious how much more powerful an actual dyno tune would be.

Hey Guys, sorry i didn't make it out today. I ended up receiving some parts that i didn't expect and took the opportunity to install them because i won't have a day to install for a little bit.

I am going to make it down as I am really excited to get this going. Track day sounds amazing too!!!
