I finally got around to installing the tune I've prepped my car for today, and I'm somewhat disappointed with the results.
I have DLC 1019 injectors, a VNT17 turbo, Southbend Stage 2 daily clutch, 10mm injection pump.
When I initially installed the tune, I thought it was maybe a little bit better, but wasn't sure if it was placebo. So I re-installed the original tune, did some hard pulls in 3rd gear, put the tune back on, did a few more pulls and didn't really notice much difference in the butt dyno apart from an increase from ~14 to ~18 psi boost on my gauge. Seems to smoke about the same with/without tune.
I'm not doubting that I got the correct tune back and I'm 100% sure I did the procedure right, but I'm curious. How significant was the power difference for other people that have done this? Could there be something going on with my car causing it to underperform? I don't have any engine codes, I average mid-40s MPG, and the car definitely has good torque before and after tune. Just doesn't feel like the advertised +75lbft. Maybe I'm psyching myself out?
