Uprev problems?

Not being a hater, but why do owners get the uprev tune anyways? From some of the results on here, it's not even worth the price tag of $500+.

For the simple reason that most are trying to get the most out a na motor?
With all the bolt ons a tune makes a difference, and besides you get 5 maps and the torue gets bumped up a little for a seat of the pants feel and a definite Dyno power gain. $550 ain't cheap but but neither is sc?

Op I hope they get it resolved and you get to see why people pay the money

it changes the feel and response of the car, it optimizes your mods, the maps, it fixes the throttle lag, ...basically, have you ever had those days where you car really feels good and pulls nice all over....well a tune gives that everyday....a tune can make a world of difference

True that. Well worth IMO. Especially getting the A/F back to the correct ratio after mods.

Because I was bored on a Saturday afternoon. Also I'm not paying $500 or even close to that.

It's the same reason people buy intakes. Hell you'll be lucky if they add 3-4hp for short rams, but yet people pay $300-$500 of them. Why?

And exhausts...you'll be lucky if you get 5-10hp from them, but yet people are paying $1k - $2500 for them. Why?

So for the 10-15whp we gain from an uprev tune, I think even the retail price of $500 is quite worth it.

And the bottom line is, because $500 can be a lot of money or chump change for different folks. It's what's worth it to THEM that matters.

It's all about the sound for me!

Sound rules again. Performance is noticeable, but the sound is what sold me.

And for the peace of mind knowing that you are not damaging your engine by having changed the entire breathing apparatus of your car!

The question is...what's 9HP and 5 lb/ft worth?
