For those with a tune ONLY, give me your impressions please
Hey guys, just looking for your thoughts if all you have for mods is a tune. I know 500 people could chime in about the night and day difference a pulley/tune combo will make, what I am after is people that had JUST a tune done. What are your impressions? Was it worth it? Would you have gone another way? I do have headers already, now I'm just looking for a bit more and I am honestly scared to put a pulley on it after reading things on here. Please let me know how you like your tune 
Any empirical data is always welcome.
Regards

Tune is faster than stock - Headers and tune is faster than headers or tune alone.
Gained 50 wheel HP/ 60-70 torques from the tune (no headers)-so worth it.
Gained .4 seconds at the strip from headers over tune alone (with box tune - soon to be rectified in two weeks) and couple of MPH-also, very much worth it (once it's on the dyno and re-tuned I'll have an idea of how much HP was gained by the headers).
About to pull the trigger on a pulley. I trust the guys who are installing it and the company that makes it - I also assume - this will be worth it.

I drove my car with a LET tune only for about 11 months and enjoyed the car far more than before and then went the route of Evosport shorties as my first mechanical mod.
With tune only as Sharduhl and Motorkas indicated the car will pick up 25-35 RWHP. Headers probably 20-25 RWHP.
I now have a 172mm pulley and Jerry has retuned the car twice since and all I can say is I love my TORQUE.

nope they will not know unless they are looking to find out if the car is tuned. they have to establish a connection with germany to read the maps of the ecu to see if they are altered. if in the future you get a tune and want to take it to the dealership EC will flash your car back to stock before it goes in and then they can put the file bakc on when it comes back
Sounds like that's the kind of bday present I should buy myself.
Also sounds for the lowest liability bang for my buck.

Have had mine in for warranty work when it was tuned and nothing was ever said, I've even had it in for work after headers and a tune and 0 was said. I had a 3rd party warranty and the dealer only cared that they were getting paid!

Just look at this 2-3 shift. Sick compared to stock.

I'm not sure yet Bullet, I may be doing the remote tune with them, waiting to hear back from Jake. I will let you know. But either way, I still want to come hang out with you guys and hit up that steakhouse
