[Shotimes] Just out of curiosity... (LPM)

[Mike]

Without being negative, what sort of improvement could one expect to see
from any tuning device with an otherwise stock car, except perhaps Y-pipe?
I was under the impression the car was pretty well tuned stock, without much
room for improvement.  Seems to me tuners are not of much use, except for
the novelty, until the mods start.  I put a SS Y-pipe on my car and the butt
dyno didn't show much difference; although admittedly its not calibrated too
well ;-).  It did add a little rasp over 4K, though.  If we assume the gain
to be ~5 hp, that is less than 2.5%.  Will the tweecer improve on that?
Mike
