Gotta respectfully disagree. A modded tune gets rid of the "throttle nanny" which plagues these cars with the stock tune. And that's an improvement which is very noticeable even to those who do not race.

I'd rather have my stock power and the $600 bucks! Especially since I didn't qualify to get a stimulus check!

Obviously you have never driven a car with a CAI/Tune....here is no way with an extra 25 HP and throttle response that they give that you wouldnt say that it is the best 600 you can spend.
