If your not sure who did the original tune, I would take it to ECS and have them go over the tune. You also might want to add a alky kit for extra safety.

The 1st day after I purchased my blown FRC I took it to my tuner.

Then I won't worry as much, but I would still have it checked. They are only two hrs away from you.

I would have it checked 3 years ago is a long time especially for someone not to tinker with it. Nothing is full proof on these cars but if your AFR and timing is good it should survive depending how you drive it.

Sounds like a plan. It's good insurance to make sure the tune is still good and have everything else checked out such as couplers,hoses and belt.

Good luck
