most of us need the tuner for our gears anyways. if youtune for 91 octane with all bolt ons i would expect pretty close to 10hp. but if u think about it thats 10 free hp bc u needed the darned thing anyway. so that makes me happy. you can play with the timing to

Canned tunes suck.

A lot of people here have found they made less HP than the stock tune with a few bolt-ons.
