ECS Tuned right? Much of an improvement over untuned (both the stink and wouldn't mind hearing your input on the results of the tune). I'm between an ECS tune or a Lewis Eaton (Diablew) tune. Both are same price. Another member here had some good dyno numbers with the Diablew tune (Username: NosLaser).

Some more pull up top, doesn't seem too different overall though. Ya gotta remember it's just bolt ons.

Stink is pretty much the same before/after the tune, and it's only when idling at a light or in the garage. No smell when moving at any speed. I chose ECS because they've had many customers use their mail order tune with good results. Honestly you probably won't be able to tell the difference between one mail order tune and another, especially on a bolt ons only car.

Thanks I'll probably go ahead with ECS for the sake of removing the CEL and 1-4 Shift. Was hoping for a good amount of extra punch.

You should notice a more responsive performance feel to the car and of corse no codes.

honestly the difference is about like going from a full tank of gas and a passenger to a half tank and no passenger.

Still totally worth it, but it won't be a night and day difference.
