Default Tuned at VMPtuning today!

And I gotta say...I'm really impressed with the gains!

Stock pull:
269rwhp / 294rwtq

Best pull:
292rwhp / 307rwtq

Unfortunately, he couldn't run the timings as aggressive as he wanted because there was some slight knocking going on. He recommended I get some colder, high quality spark plugs to fix the problem. Once that's fixed, I should be able to squeeze out a few more horses! I'm trying to get a dyno graph for you guys to see...

I can already tell I've been bitten by the mod bug....

I'd love to go straight back there after I get the plugs switched and see what maximum gains I could get with the new timing.

I'm thinking about taking my car to him... just not sure if I can justify the 300 or so dollars for the tune... but I'm sure it's worth it!

Nice numbers btw, I'd love for him to get those numbers out of mine.

What are your mods? Just a custom tune is all?
