yea, thats cool. well at least you have the tuner already so when it comes time for the big mods, its not an extra $400 you need to drop to get things working. I called a speed shop and asked how much a tune was... when they told me $500 i nearly crapped my pants

I got my Predator for $275 Free S&H then got my car tuned the off to the track and took .9 seconds of my 1/4 mile. Feels great, but I have to remove the tune for the winter months, way to much torque in the snow...

A local shop tuned my car the first time when I had 3.73's, exhaust and UD pulleys.. nocked 4 tenths of my time. SCT btw. 400 dollars i feel well spent, and now that I have patriot heads only 100 for a retune.

Just leave the tune and turn on your defroster.

dont get me wrong, i think on an auto if the shift points are adjusted and the timing and fuel curves are tweaked, i bet you could pick up as much as .3 or so. My crappy off the shelf superchip in my 01 was good for .15 easily(mostly due to timing of course).
