It is 509 in the morning, i've been up all night thinking the same thing. I heard that Lidio's tune is the best on the xcal II yielding more whp. I want to see peoples dyno run info if anyone has them please post.

Unfortunately, the only answers that will have any meaning are those that have a dyno attached. Otherwise it will be all over the board opinions. Opinions are fun, but they won't help to form conclusions on which is "best". It would be great if we could get side by side dyno results to show which is actually best.

got to my webpage... I have all kinds of dyno sheet from Lidio's shop... LOL

Ok... here is a stock V6 automatic before and after loading Lidio's 89 Octane tune



Also... Lidio's 89 Octance tune shaved .25 off my 0-60 time versus another well repsected tuners 93 Octane tune.... that should give you an idea about Lidio's tune!

Is the above dyno before and after with tune being the only difference? It does not include a CAI? If so, am I correct in seeing a 12rwhp increase in the 89 tune?

I would like to see a dyno for a manual transmission. I've seen some for autos, but not mine. [sm=boohoo.gif]

yes, the gain is simply from the Tune... nothing else..
