I know a guy who has a speed shop and does dyno tuning and custom chip burning. I just had my PI head swap a few weeks ago and i want to know if it is worth the cash to get the tune done. He said it will cost me about $330CDN for the chip and about $120CDN for the Dyno time. Will I see noticeable gains by doing this or shoud I spend my cash on something else? He's going to phone me back today to set up a time. He thinks he can get over .5 of a second in quatermile time out of my car by doing this. Should I go for it or I am getting blown smoke?

i have seen as much as 30 RWHP form a dyno tune. So i would say do it unless you have plans for you car in the NEAR future. And even if you do most dyno guys will griv you a break on re-burn

man you are a prime candidate to have it done since you just did the pi swap. your car needs a tune, & you will pick up a good amount of power out of it too i bet. plus if nothing else you will know your air/fuel is in line, so you don't have to worry about busting your engine

Even if you dont pick up alot of HP its still good to get a safe tune so your motor will run smooth and last a hell of alot longer
