Find a local company that has the ability to p[perform a live tune of your vehicle on a chassis dyno.

All I see from generic tunes are issues. Most tuners just raise thresholds to borderline safe levels to make power.

I learned these things first hand when we started our own live tuning initiative. Being able to open up the generic files to see what these people are doing is eye opening.

So you would not recommend Softtronic or similar to get a little extra from the engine?

Unless the file is generated for your car, and done live, I wouldn't touch it. I don't care who does it, you can't make a blanket file and throw it at every car out there with 100% positive results.

Listen to Jake!! A wise man indeed. JayG also provides some great advicetoo. Why do you want more when you aren't even using or capable of getting 100% out of what you have.
