hence the "REALLY?"

As far as tuning, Uprev is pretty much the only option for us at the moment. It lets the tuner control settings on the stock ECU by flashing it. You cannot add "chips" to these cars.

What are your goals anyway? Do you just want more power? If so, there are plenty of bolt on options for that.

I put Injen CAI and FI 18" CBE. That is all I am doing for now. I have read a few blogs and the common push is for an UPREV tune to get full benefits from these bolt ons. Others are also saying that after so many miles the computer will adjust on it's own to the changes.

Fighting the dealer with warranty issues is definitely more important that a few HP.

Thanks for the input.

Computer will adjust to your mods and make your car reach proper AFRs. A tune will do the same, give you about 6hp more and better throttle response amongst other things. It is also not cheap at over $750 for licensed cable and tune itself.

That helps out a lot!!! $750 for 6 more hp is definitely not worth it at this stage.

Thanks again.
