I predict +2mph.. I am hoping the AFR will be friendly ..

Just remember, reset all the adaptations or just disconnect the battery before you fire it up so that the ECU can relearn.

Ask the tech to raise the idle 150rpm unless you want it lopey.

You know where to reach me if you need me.
Thanks Vic. I'll let you know how it goes.

Guys, why not add the 80mmTB and bolt on headers to the list of base mods? You gonna jump to nitrous after stage 1 and you question the reliability of adding a TB and headers?

The package is a tune. The K2 is fine. Now, add a 80mmTb to it and you will see how much more refined it is. the gains may be minimal for you (25hpish), but the difference in ride is huge. The car simply responds so much more quickly to needing a nice blast (ie when you punch it).

It really is unfair to judge everyone's car by using a metric that is not even one we participate in that often. I can promise you that the fastest E in the world will be on this site before it will ever be on dragtimes at ridgemont high.
