I doubt there is. You could have it re-tuned to your preferences, but you'll probably never know 100% if there even is an aftermarket tune on now. Of course a professional tuner could tell you for sure if there is a way to check it or not-maybe email one of the guys at brenspeed or one of the other sponsors.

I could make second bark all day long when it was bone bone stock, and scrape into 3rd if I tried.

when you get a tune usually you will have a higher octane tune to where you can only put in that octane of gas because you can get more hp out of it so they are saying that most likely you would have a 93 octane tune because you can get 93 octane in most places.

And to the original poster i think you are stock because my car did the same time. Now just imagine how much you would rost the ground with some 4:30 gears in. And when i got mine tuned it shifts a lot harder. Also check to see where you redline at because mine was increased to about 6100-6200. And before it was like 5700.
