Default Finally got an intake and tune!

So after a few years of wanting to pull the trigger on an intake and tune, I finally went ahead and did it. I picked up a used C&L Street intake and a 93 octane tune from Brenspeed... All I can say is holy **** haha. It is literally a different car. I have an automatic and have always disliked it but with the way it shifts now I am quite a fan. Definitely wish I would have done this mod muchhh sooner but I am glad I have it now.

The only downside so far is that my MPGs have dropped a good bit, but I have a feeling that would be due to my heavier foot as I enjoy the new found power of my car.

Ordering from Brenspeed was extremely simple and their response times and turnaround time were very fast and I will definitely be going back to them for future mods.

After the novelty wears off (slightly; it NEVER completely wears off...), your foot will be a bit more forgiving and you should see you fuel mileage get back to where it was or just a tad less. A little restraint and "situational awareness" and you can enjoy the added power with little to no penalty in economy.

Congrats! and I love Brenspeed. You're under leadfoot syndrome but that rarely ever clears up lol. Now you just need 4.10 gear and your auto will fly

Congrats!
I felt the same way with my tunes from Brenspeed and I only have a sixxer. I could only imagine what the difference would feel like in a GT. =-)
Enjoy!!!
