i've never had a fuel injected car tuned before, grew up on carb'ed, and (hopefully) monday i will be sending mine out to pcmforless to be tuned. the car has never had a tune, still on factory tune. i have an m6 with LT's, CAI, no EGR, no rear O2's and a 160 deg t-stat, which i was surprised at how important he said it was, he mentioned it like 3 times. shrug. he also said that i could expect 15 to 20 wheel hp. still a bit sceptical/nervous/whatever but we'll see. almost seems like magic to me. other reasons for the tune are driveability issues and poor gas milage (i assume because of running so damn rich) which i hope will be cured. my only other future HP mods will be 1.6's and electric water pump. i'll try and get some dyno resluts when i get it back. fingers crossed.

They say just long tubes alone will net a good gain in hp. so it wouldn't surprise me. I know when I got my car tuned after the cam swap it was night and day. Post some numbers if you can.
