On a side note, this retailer is out of business. But there are many, MANY more out there that can satisfy your ECU tuning needs.

Is any one tuner better than the other? I see you chose Evotech. Any reason you chose them over all the others?

I chose Evotech because I met Adam at a track event and after talking to him, I felt comfortable with them. Plus, the price was a factor too. Since Evotech is no longer in business, the top guys that are affordable, seem to be LET, Powerchip, VRP, etc...

I'm not sure what the gains are on the 350, but I'd guess about 15hp/15tq. Expect prices between 700.00 to 1500.00 range, depending on tuner. Just not sure if the gains are worth it on your car, but that's a decision you have to make.

Good luck.
