Default Performance tuner help!!

i have a SCT performance tuner for my 97 gt and i feel like its not doing anything. when i first hooked it up all i noticed was a different throttle response. then a week later i hopped in my car and when i put my foot down it threw me back in my seat like it gained 40 hp. it stayed that way for a little while but now i think its lost that HP gain again. Whats going on?

You have likely gotten used to it--horsepower is worse than heroin...

You're still going to want more!

I'm 62, semi-retired, and have had to go cold-turkey since the economy and my meager investments have tanked--withdrawal sucks...
