Where do you notice the difference in power? The low end, mid-range of the ability to reach a higher speed on top end. Are there any other mods (cat deletes; larger throttle body) that would need to be done to enhance the gains?

I don't plan on tracking the car.

Any experience or advice would be appreciated.
Hey Don

No personal exp with Softronic but I'm sure it is top of its class. The guys there does just that and from 9 to 5 and possibly 7 days a week.

One however that I had dealings with is GIAC (giacusa.com). Write to them bud... tell then what kind of set-up is current on your car and be very clear to them RE how you want your car to drive e.g. want power in the lower/mid or top range, better fuel economy, etc. At that point - "trust them" - and let them do their magic.

Yes it works... even if its for an additional 10~15HP imo it worth every pennies. Stock or modified.

ps. they won't advance your timing to a point where it is dangerous lollll. As I said, they do this all day long and have do so for more than a decade mate. Top Quality people as well

Hoe this helps a little.... I'll say go have fun man
