Is tuning a stock car on 93 worth it?

[AZ_Ryan]

It always blows my mind when people say a tune won't do much for a stock NA car. I've had a few cars tuned in my life and I've always felt a difference. 15-20whp on a stock car is noticeable....its just a starting point until you add more mods.

But how many of those cars were almost 500hp stock? The reality is 15 extra HP won't be noticeable to the average street driver. What you will feel is a little more torque and better throttle response.

I installed the Soler performance unit last friday. Amazing..... control everything through the APP super easy.

If your STOCK 91/93 honestly try this, i highly recommend. Im not even interested in tuning at this time lol.

The reality is if you run only 93 but you are a manual car, then not much to gain. Its the auto cars that really feel the difference. The tq management reduced or eliminated in some scenarios, the shift points raised to 7500-7800. Pair that with our VCT settings that have been hand crafted and AI modeled, our tunes make power to 7600 consistenly. And quite a bit more tq at 5k than others. I've seen a few dyno graphs and you can see who understands VCT and who doesnt...

But smoothing out the trans part throttle shiftings, raising shift pressures, tq converter slip and lock changes, throttle pedal refinements and the list goes on and on. Dont forget ghost cam. Everyone loves the ghost gam. Here's my car on my tune with completely stock exhaust ghost cam. This took probably 40 hours of R&D to get right/cat safe. It sounds 10x better with a real exhaust. The value is there. Moreso for auto guys on E85. Manual guys too on E85.

just wanted to shout out to p1 tuning still figuring out the issue with my car but I can say this they really stand behind their sale.

I think its worth it for the M6 car if you want gears. The auto can run the 4.09:1 without a tune, but not the M6. On my S550 4.09 gears were a match made in heaven for the MT82D4.

My take on tuning...don't I want to void my warranty right after buying the car for the tune? Not yet. Once I have all the suspension and chassis reinforcement done, maybe the prices will have come down a little and make more sense. Or, just use the money for a whipple...

Are really comparing tuning a gen 4 Coyote to a 1968 302?

Showing high po has been around a long time. If able to squeeze 500 out of a 302 without fancy computer way back when just imagine what can be done today. Tiggle a toggle aint tuning, there’s more to it than that, it’s a complete package not a can, not that there’s anything wrong with that , but yeah tuning on 93 should be a piece of cake in todays advanced state.

Zig,
Thanks for posting that. I know it is off topic, but I enjoyed reading it. I feel all nostalgic now.
