lol. I hear ya. Im guessing shift points, torque management, tcc lock up speed. If I'm spending the time and money investing in a custom tune, I want to make sure I give the Tuner the ability he needs to be successful.

What I'm thinking about now is all the Dyno videos of these trucks going from stock to CAI and showing 15rwhp gains. That should be shown in trap speed and i didn't gain a single mph. This truck notices the difference in air flow and puts me in the friends zone.

Also the cold start this morning was pretty damn loud and i can only guess that its going to get louder as the muffler breaks in.

15rwhp is like 10 degrees on a hot day at the track, +/- 1mph or so.

I can’t say how much whp that badge is gonna give me but I can say that If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife
I'd thank my lucky stars to be living here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away

And I'm proud to be an American where as least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God bless the U.S.A

From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas from sea to shining sea
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to L.A
Well, there's pride in every American heart and it's time to stand and say

I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me

The corsa mufflers dont break in the way normal packed mufflers to. The sound is what it is and it will never change.
