Lol what do you mean by factory freak? There is a lot of factors that can contribute to a 0-60 time but I would guess low 6's personally maybe high 5's!

It's something that's been turned into a joke, people claim their car is a "factory freak" to explain ridiculous numbers.

think of it like this... barry sanders was an AWESOME and LEGENDARY running back regardless of his mediocre (at best) O-line. you combine barry with the dallas o-line of the early-mid 90's and you have the potential for even GREATER stats/numbers.
just a fun analogy...

Roughly 70-80% is the tune. But that doesn't mean that you'd see 20-30% of the combo's gain from a stand-alone CAI. A stand alone CAI would gain you less. The tune alone is worth the added RWHP gain but it also enhances what the (tune-required) CAI has to offer, hence the push by forum members to do the combo and not one or the other.

After driving my tune for about 2 weeks, I thought I would post my impressions. I've spent some time with all three tunes: 87, 89, 92. I installed the CAI and tune mainly to help out in passing, merging, and accelerating uphill. My sixer always seemed to lack torque in those situations. Even the 87 Brenspeed is a big improvement over stock. As everyone says, the throtle response is much quicker and there's just overall a bit more ooomph in acceleration. I have to say, though, that it's really hard to use anything else after getting used to the 92 tune. Off-the-line acceleration is really quick. The biggest change is in merging and passing. Just a tap on the peddle and the car shoots forward. Downshifts to 4th seem much quicker also. I will leave the 92 tune in all summer. Once fall starts I go back to serious highway commuting and will go back to the 87 or 89 during the week just to save some cash.
Would I do this mod again? You bet! Along with installing the take-off sway bars and polybushings, this is the most he cost-effective mod I've done. I have to say that I'm curious about the AM/Bama 92 torque tune. I may have to try that one.
