Thanks for organizing and putting stuff like this together though. |
Even bone stock this car greatly improves performance with a tune. On pump gas they are pushing 12-15 whp with 93 octane tune. I've seen dynos between 22-30 whp with E85 and nothing else. Personally, I worry about longevity of the fuel system parts running E85 all the time so I will stick with 93 octane tune and a ton of bolt on parts for now like intake, header, exhaust, pulley, etc...my goal is 200 to the wheels with the above parts. I'm going to let the early adopters of the Vortech kit put a few thousand miles on the cars and see how the engine is holding up before I purchase the kit.
That said, go for the tune even if you're stock. Best hp per dollar modification out there.
