Strictly Performance. They did good work, but they don't communicate very well. Just busy I guess.

That's almost exactly what I paid.

From what I recall, you will probably first notice a difference on the highway.. having the rpms a little higher from the gears makes the car much more responsive on the highway.

The next time you notice will be when you try to pass someone on a regular road (rolling at 30-35 mph) and it downshifts into second (if you have an auto)...

Then you will not be able to help yourself.. you will find an empty road.. and will have to "see what she can do".... and your face will look like this..



Then you will get your CAI and tune... and the process will start all over again.

The throttle response will make all the difference in the world. The day I loaded my tune.. I almost rearended someone taking off at a stop light.. [8D]
