Amazing.
So tonight I replaced my stock v6 muffler with a GT takeoff. --I noticed that the stock muffler is about 8 pnds heavier than the GT takeoff. (Now I need to get an x pipe and have a shop install the other gt muffler with the midpipes.)
After that, I placed the CAI on my engine, fired up the tuner, and flashed my rom with the 91 performance tune.

I started the car, and the sound difference with the GT takeoff was so much deeper and meaner than the quiet stock muffler, and as if I wasn't happy enough with the new sound and rumble with the new muffler...I pulled out of the driveway, and started pressing on the gas peddle with the 91 tune. Immediate and significant difference! My 6'r acted like it was breathing a hell of alot easier, and the pickup upon depression of the pedal was I'd say about 60% quicker and more responsive than the crippled stock tune.

On the freeway, the car feels like it really wants to go, like it wants me to step on the gas for performance...And on top of that, I've gained about 3-4 more miles per gallon with the muffler, cai and tune! I was averaging about 18.5 mpg with the stock muffler and computer, and my mileage shot up to about 23 mpg with the 91 tune.

Very impressed and happy, Justin did some mean as$ work on this!
At this point, I think I'm gonna stick with the 91 performance tune, I don't think the 87 or 89 could match up.

hey rhino,

i recently went with the vmp tunes as well. does the shift into third gear seem a little hard/rough at wot to you?

I'm using a VMP 93 octane tune currently. Yes, I feel that the shift into third at WOT is very aggressive! It actually chirps the tires going into third. The light on the dash that indicates that the traction control has activated, actually flashes when my car shifts into third.

wow chirping tires on an auto is pretty nuts

ha this is going to sound lame im new at this but WOT means?

Wide Open Throttle, basically more commonly known as "Flooring It". "WOT" sounds way cooler though....but it is easier to type

wide open throttle=wot

I'm not getting the chirp when going into third, the shift feels firm but not overly powerful, just a much stronger feel to the ride in general. I really want to try the 91 torque tune through Ba ma....Can I order a tune through Ba ma and download it to the SCT, if I ordered the device from VMP?
