3) Not sure if you’re driving a manual or an automatic, but an automatic will see a much more dramatic difference in the tune than a manual purely because of the transmission aspect of the tune. Either way, you should expect to see more power, throttle response, and if an automatic, MUCH improved shifting.

I hope this helps!
Thank you, what I really like to know is can I tune and de-tune at will with a mail ordered handheld. Just for practicality as I wouldn't want to visit the tuning shop every time I'd want the tune taken off. Then again, these aren't practical cars but I'm just curious as I'm barely arriving to the scene.

Saw your build journal for yours, gave me a ton of ideas. Thanks a lot.
