OK here it goes.
What exactly did you have tuned? The graphs look like changes that are usually within the margin of error of the equipment between pulls.


Why not hold off on getting a tune and dyno until you got the header and appropriate tune? I get that it gives a base line but you mentioned a few times you were on a budget. Would seem to me that waiting would have saved some money for the changes that would actually make a difference.
I got the car tuned because I first needed to see if it could be mapped. After I was already there and I was told the car was mappable and could be tuned, I just kind of got really antsy and wanted it tuned. It actually yielded some nice gains, and you can definitely tell while driving the car. He also told me that the next tune will be a significant amount of money less because most of the work is done when the car is mapped. So yeah, you're right, I could have saved a few bucks, but honestly, it's not much of a difference.
